And yet you can still type - impressive.
Are these the containers you lost? They contain a gold substance more precious than any metal:

Priceless!
Your example works because a Credit Card could be tracked to it's owner, a LOST in the space item could not.
What if you return lost things to the nearest (Fed or Emp) station for a little remuneration? or maybe Reputation points?
LOl, you made literally lol.
Do you yell at your local police department that they should chase real criminals instead of loosing time writing a ticket for your badly parked car?
... a good answer new is: I don't park my car badly
...but, thread is of a certain interrest...

If he stripped down naked, he wouldn't have the wallet on him.
Well, unless he had an unusual hiding place for it!
It does seem a bit silly to just leave cargo floating around in space when you find it. Im pretty sure that if you find something floating in the sea you can keep it so how is this any different ? SORT IT OUT DEVS!!!!
Thought it was another whine thread.
Canisters in open space....I wouldn't receive a bounty immediately... How do the cops know???

To crib from a dumb joke:
Q: What do you call gold that's not yours?
A: Nacho gold!

Nanoscopic identity tags from the packager that're destroyed by static interference if the cargo is jettisoned outside of a station.
No ID tag? No legitimacy, must be stolen.
This would have been a logical security measure taken in the face of pirates attacking transporters and demanding they jettison their cargo or lose their ship, as a method of reducing the profitability of such activities.
As far as maritime salvage goes:
"In pure salvage (also called "merit salvage"), there is no contract between the owner of the goods and the salvor. The relationship is one which is implied by law. The salvor of property under pure salvage must bring his claim for salvage in a court which has jurisdiction, and this will award salvage based upon the "merit" of the service and the value of the salvaged property.
Pure salvage claims are divided into "high-order" and "low-order" salvage. In high-order salvage, the salvor exposes himself and his crew to the risk of injury and loss or damage to his equipment in order to salvage the property that is in peril. Examples of high-order salvage are boarding a sinking ship in heavy weather, boarding a ship which is on fire, raising a ship, plane, or other sunken property, or towing a ship which is in the surf away from the shore. Low-order salvage occurs where the salvor is exposed to little or no personal risk. Examples of low-order salvage include towing another vessel in calm seas, supplying a vessel with fuel, or pulling a vessel off a sand bar. Salvors performing high order salvage receive substantially greater salvage award than those performing low order salvage.
In order for a claim to be awarded three requirements must be met: The property must be in peril, the services must be rendered voluntarily (no duty to act), and finally the salvage must be successful in whole or in part.
There are several factors that would be considered by a court in establishing the amount of the salvor’s award. Some of these include the difficulty of the operation, the risk involved to the salvor, the value of the property saved, the degree of danger to which the property was exposed, and the potential environmental impacts. It would be a rare case in which the salvage award would be greater than 50 percent of the value of the property salvaged. More commonly, salvage awards amount to 10 percent to 25 percent of the value of the property."
Maybe some sort of mechanism to claim salvage rights at 10 to 25% c
value then?

Scoopers beware.!
It called entrapment. Every lazy police force does it. It's to hard to investigate, to much fuel, overtime and Jeremy Kyle's on in half an hour.
This. That would be awesome; having a lost-and-found desk at every spacestation.
And there you would recieve a findersfee, a small reward for your troubles of retrieving the lost cargo.
It could even be a whole new role to play; being a hunter for lost cargo, bringing it back and claiming a small reward from the insurance company.
Still, there will be a problem when you're stopped by the police. Unless it goes something like this:
Cop: "What is all that gold doing in your cargobay?"
Me: "Nothing officer! It's not what you think. I'm employed by the insurance company".
Cop: "Ok, sir. Have a nice day then".
Salvage licenses are planned.
They are? Thats great! And having a licence to salvage does indeed make it legal to have found goods in your cargo, so imo a very good solution. Thanks for informing me, Tacheel.
