Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Reward for stolen property
I (more or less) accidently stole some keys from my school.They are master keys,and replacing the locks would cost thousands of dollars.I wouldve returned them immeadiatly,but due to office hours I was not able to.Over the weekend in which I posessed the keys,they were taken from me and used to commit theft of property valued at no more than $80.So now there is a ''witch hunt'' for the person with the keys.Today a reward for the keys in the amount of $200 was put out with the notice ''no questions asked''.My question is,if i return them,would the notification which was printed in the bulliten act as some sort of indirect legal contract from them to me.Will I be able to return them and recieve the reward without fear of consequence?
