Recent activity
Puerto Rico : a finder must hand the item to the municipal authority immediately, not to a police station, and the municipality publishes a public notice. Three months after that notice, an unclaimed item, or its value, is awarded to the finder, and an owner who gets the item back owes the finder one tenth of its value (31 L.P.R.A. §7966). (Civil Code of Puerto Rico, art. 749 (31 L.P.R.A. §7965))
