Just because someone leaves their car door unlocked and you tell them about it, doesn't mean they are obligated to give you any of its contents.

On the other hand, if you find a wallet, you are entitled to 10% of the cash.(1) (Bad fit as an example, I know, but the question is what is a good comparison..)

(1) at least in Germany.

Is this German law? I wish that were the case in the US, as I've found a number of wallets over the years and would have made at least a few hundred USD by now.

If someone also left the family jewels lying on the seat, someone might want to make sure that people are encouraged or rewarded for doing the right thing.
