Should label them as initialism, acronym, etc.

Damn what a sweet boy. I meant bot, not boy, but I keep it.

Oh yeah, I don’t know firsthand but I’d bet it’s pretty common.

I mean everything is legal unless someone enforces the contrary.

Oh, sure, it comes down to knowledge of the facts. If the owner manifests an intention not to recover it, then it is abandoned. But if you just find the scooter, or even if the company has said it’s going out of business, that’s not the same as having knowledge that the owner has no intent to retrieve the property.

It’s not abandoned property unless the finder doesn’t know who it belongs to.

If the name of the company is on the scooter, it is mislaid property, not abandoned property.

The classic bar exam question on this involves the finder of a bag of money. In one hypothetical, it’s a plain canvas bag. In another, it has the name of a bank on the bag.

When the name is there, you have to give it back. The finder only gets to keep it if after legal notice and a waiting period, the owner fails to reclaim it. In most states there is a statute on this, and most of them require turning the property over to police temporarily.
