It was found on their own property. It belongs to them. Should I call the police to report I found a booger?

It’d be funny if everyone started calling the cops to report finding loose seat-cushion change.

That's what I used to think. Stop paying your property taxes and you will see who the land truly belongs to.

Hail, fellow serf!

Not necessarily, per CA law, and for that matter the law of most other states.

What exactly is outrageous about the law requiring someone who finds obviously lost/abandoned property to make some prescribed attempt to find the true owner?

If I find a lost wallet with $10,000 in it in the bushes in my front yard, I know it doesn't belong to me. Is it honest for me to just keep it? Make no attempt to find the real owner?

Depends on the value of the Booger and whether you live in Commiefornia.

Yes, if that booger is worth more that $250.
