If not claimed within how many days, the finder can keep found property?

• A. 30 days
• B. 60 days
• C. 120 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that there’s a fixed holding period for found property during which the owner can still come forward, and only after that period passes without a claim can the finder obtain ownership. In this context, that window is 90 days. If the owner doesn’t claim within 90 days, the finder is typically entitled to possession, assuming proper procedures were followed (such as reporting the find, preserving the item, and making reasonable efforts to locate the owner). The 90-day period balances the owner's right to recover their property with the finder’s interest in not waiting indefinitely. Shorter periods like 30 or 60 days would rush ownership too quickly, while a longer period like 120 days would delay resolution beyond what this rule is designed to provide.
