Interesting.

"contractor Bob Kitts, who couldn't agree on how to split the money with
homeowner..."

Ummm, how about 0:100 for the homeowner.
Wow, what made this guy think he had any right to any of it?

If I'm taking out a vanity and find a diamond ring that fell behind it,
what it the world would make me think I had any right to keep it?

Does this guy go through the couch cushions, too? :-)




In English law, the difference is that in one case it's "lost" and in the
other, "hidden."

"Lost" is obviously the home-owners property. No argument.

Hidden stuff by parties deceased is "treasure trove" and is automatically
property of the Crown. In practice, the finder usually gets a reward, which
may even amount to the full value, but that is discretionary and by no means
certain.
