Walk It Through: The Wallet On The Bus

A found wallet kept, what a misdemeanor means, how long the state has, and a fine that cannot be paid.

A rider finds a wallet on the bus seat and keeps the cash.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

One found wallet. The lower theft degrees and their values, restitution, a plea agreement and reporting a default to a credit agency are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
