This got me wondering who actually legally owns the money in NV once it is left in the car. I seem to vaguely recall something from Property class about intent to abandon but I think it varies state by state.
Also, if the money is still the property of the guy who left it in the car, does the cab company have any liability for its employee's theft? Clearly this is not the first time valuables have been left in a cab so there must be some standard way to handle it.
Any lawyers or other knowledgeable person want to fill me in? Just curious.
Yes, I'm a flaming, hopeless, nerd.
