Theft crimes are commonly charged against casino patrons. While stealing chips or chip stacking scams are common charges, the most common is when someone cashes out a slot machine that did not belong to them or picked up cash or a chip off the casino floor.

"Wait" you say knowing you've done that. "It's finders keepers, right?"

Not in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania does not have a found money doctrine (also known as "finders, keepers").

"A person who comes into control of property of another that he knows to have been lost, mislaid, or delivered under a mistake as to the nature or amount of the property or the identity of the recipient is guilty of theft if, with intent to deprive the owner thereof, he fails to take reasonable measures to restore the property to a person entitled to have it."

18 P.S.A. Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â§ 3924. Theft of property lost, mislaid, or delivered by mistake. Cross References. Section 3924 is referred to in section 5552 of Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure).

Unfortunately, "reasonable measures" usually means giving the money to the owner of the business or company where the money was found and asking them to find the true owner.
