Legal Question in Employment Law in California
I recently got laid off from my job (about 3 weeks ago) and signed all required paperwork and turned in everything I had and collected my last paycheck and left. I just discovered that the laptop I bought about 5-6 months ago was bought using that companies money instead of another company I worked for. What should I do? I want to return it but I'm afraid they will file charges against me or something, and I'm also afraid if I hold onto it just to avoid them thinking that they will file theft charges. What should I do and what do I need to do to make it happen? Thank you!

If you know the computer belongs to your former employer you have two options. Either return it or offer to buy it from them. It is only if you keep something that does not belong to you that you should have cause for concern.
