Is that a felony?
No. I assume the kid told the cops a different story and they couldn’t use it without parental permission. In any case I always taught my kids that found money isn’t theirs to keep. I’d these parents instilled same teh kid would have avoided this. I know, I taught my kids lots of things that they ignored and had to suffer consequences. Respect for private property is huge Vale to instill. Hopefully the kid learns.
The insanity of nowadays... Rioters disrupt Trump rallies, DemWit run cities with strict “gun control” are free fire zones, and confused and pervert men can use the ladies room. Media/government could care less... then this? The observations of Ayn Rand come to mind:
“The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
