I doubt that it works that way. Years ago I found two full toolboxes in my dads yard in Lafayette . I called the cops and they took them away. They gave me a receipt for them. They told me to call in 90 days and if the boxes were not claimed, I could come down and claim them. I called, they said the toolboxes had been claimed. Later that year I saw them in the police auction. Just my experience.would the police give it back to the busdriver?? I"m betting the busdriver would have to jump through hoops to get it back if he/she wanted it
