Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: laptop

Who is "they"? Do not make any statements to anyone without consulting a lawyer. I live in Jupiter and my office is in West Palm. I will answer your questions for free if you call and if you need additional representation I will help you all that I can.

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If you found property that does not belong to you and did not turn it in, then you effectively broke the law. If the police subsequently recovered it, there may be more to your "finding" the laptop than you have let on in this question. You should retain a criminal attorney to represent you in this matter.
