My question involves criminal law for the state of: California, today I got a call from an investigator from a police department saying that if I found the phone a while back and I said yes and I explained this story:::
I found the phone about a month ago and saw the phone in the shopping center seats.I remember noticing a couple sitting from the balconey of a grocery store as i was drinking a beer with my buddy B. The chick was good looking because my friend was drooling over her all of a sudden i spot a phone on the seat in the shopping center lounge and i went to grab it and I went to go try to find the couple ,some white guy and girl. to give them back their phone but could not find them and me and my friend left I had investigation from a police department come to my house and leave a note stating that they want to talk to me I ended up calling investigations and told her that I found that phone and I did try to make an attempt to find them and that that was all that I have a phone she told me to come tomorrow at 12pm that she's going to make sure shes there so I can turn it in and she has the make and model number to make sure to bring that phone, I told her its in perfect condition and it has a case on it.she needs to match it she says she doesn't need she doesn't care about this phone situation that I that she looked at my record and I'm in enough trouble with the separate unrelated case(public intoxication) and I told her okay I will go tomorrow and meet her at the police department. The detective told me i should have left it at the grocery store adjacent to the shopping center lounge area or put a lost and found ad online or newspapper. I said i didnt know all that but i did make the effort around the time frame i found the phone. Told her before hanging up that review the camaras to see that i made the effort to try to find the couple in the surrounding area and front parking lot.I have never used the phone only to try to contact the owner on the phone itself but it was locked. I completly forgot that i had the phone untill today when i talked to the investigator. T he phone has been at my house and took me 1 hour to find and thank god i found it i am going tommmorow to turn it in and talk to investigator. Should i be worried? I am in California. Here is the law about finding property
Penal Code 485 PC -- California's law against appropriating (or misappropriating) lost property -- prohibits you keeping property that you find when there are clues identifying its true owner.1You are not required to go to extremes to identify and contact the owner. But the law says you must make a reasonable attempt to do so.
