A buddy told me that 'Theft of lost property' exists in some, possibly all, states, and further stated that it could/would apply here.

...to whomever received the card knowing it wasn't his or her card. You can't keep a rightful owner from his or her property. Most criminal laws are based primarily on common sense. It is shady for a reason.

Exactly. A few of the posters here have already convicted the seller as the thief.

Doesn't exist in Florida.

To put the ethics discussion aside for just one post- is there a link to the original auction?

My buddy's not familiar with Florida statutes, but he said it'll be covered in the chapter containing theft and related offenses.

What if Chris didn't see the listing? Answer: he wouldn't get it back and somebody (the receiver of the property) would profit.

This would be a theft case for sure. I feel like a jerk saying this but: trust me I am a prosecutor.

I hate whenever people flaunt things. It seems a bit arrogant. However in this particular instance I thought it was warranted.
