Road loot is road loot. I find tools all the time. Money every now and again. A couple of bike headlights/taillights, a few water bottles. Found a rosary once. Seemed wrong to just leave it in the gutter.
If I'm not supposed to keep stuff, what am I supposed to do with said stuff? Find a folding knife in the middle of an intersection, do I print out flyers when I get home, hoping to find the owner? Maybe they have a picture of it in their wallet?
The only items that I would try to find an owner: cellphones, IDs, credit cards-- basically anything that can be immediately tied to an identity. $5 bill in the gutter? I spend that on tacos.
