“and which law is broken in the selling of a found diary?”
Florida Statutes 705.102
Everyone begin a diary. Name names and list the nastiest of nasty. It doesn’t have to be true. Chuck’s diary. Paul’s diary. Sids diary. Chelsea’s diary. Monica’s diary. Merrick’s diary. Leave them in the seating area at Starbucks.
Didn't know that. Seems awfully broad to me. I would guess its mostly ignored unless it becomes 'useful'.
Thanks for posting. Here is the text -—
705.102 Reporting lost or abandoned property.—
(1) Whenever any person finds any lost or abandoned property, such person shall report the description and location of the property to a law enforcement officer.
(2) The law enforcement officer taking the report shall ascertain whether the person reporting the property wishes to make a claim to it if the rightful owner cannot be identified or located. If the person does wish to make such claim, he or she shall deposit with the law enforcement agency a reasonable sum sufficient to cover the agency’s cost for transportation, storage, and publication of notice. This sum shall be reimbursed to the finder by the rightful owner should he or she identify and reclaim the property.
(3) It is unlawful for any person who finds any lost or abandoned property to appropriate the same to his or her own use or to refuse to deliver the same when required.
(4) Any person who unlawfully appropriates such lost or abandoned property to his or her own use or refuses to deliver such property when required commits theft as defined in s. 812.014, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
History.—s. 2, ch. 87-82; s. 4, ch. 92-79; s. 790, ch. 97-102.

OK, so lost property must be reported to a “law enforcement officer”. Seems like she might be (at most) on the hook for twice the pecuniary gain.
And that is FBI jurisdiction because.....?
