Once the owner has said, "Woe to me for the monetary loss I have sustained," or expressed his belief in the hopelessness of recovering the lost object in any manner, he has given up hope of ever recovering it, and whoever finds it now may keep it.
If one finds objects with an identifying mark or sign (siman), the finder must announce his find. This sign can be weight, bundle count, or location where it was lost.
If objects without a sign look like they have been left by the owner, the finder announces them, lest the people who don't observe this law will take them.
