Question: I found a pair of earnings in my floor after stepping on one of them. I told the person who I thought left them that I found them. She didn't even know she lost them. She came over the next day and still did not get them. Its been months since I talked or seen her. she showed up at my door today wanting them. I can not find them anywhere. Now She said if I didn't find them by tonight she would call the police. I have a 5 yr old son who touches and plays with anything he finds. They are not where I placed them. They could be lost again, vacuumed up, or thrown away. Its not my responsibility to keep up with stuff that someone leaves or loses at my home.i did not steal them, sell them, or give them away. Can I go to jail for something like this?

Answer: You can IF the police officer decides to file for a warrant. Because it has been months, the police will probably tell the victim to pursue you civilly. Good luck.
