wow.. very similar to finders keeper, losers weepers... i read from some source that it was effective long time ago but not anymore....
1 answer
The expression 'mine to keep' means that a certain object is already owned by the person. It can be clearly explained using the phrase 'finders keepers, losers weepers'. Once a person finds something, it is his for the keeping.
1 answer
No. Depending on the context, of course, "obtained" carries with it a meaning of possession. If you obtain something, now it's yours! :)
But if you "found" something, it may still belong to somebody else.
They mean the same thing only if you follow the "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers" addage.

"Finders keepers, losers weepers" is not the law and never has been. Property that has been lost or mislaid still belongs to the rightful owner. Keeping it without attempting to return it is called "Theft or Appropriation of Lost or Mislaid Property".
In the US, the laws vary from state to state. In California, a finder can face criminal charges for not making an attempt to return lost property to its rightful owner (Penal Code 485 PC). In Illinois, surprisingly, theft of lost or mislaid property is punishable only by a fine (720 ILCS 5/16-2).
In the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, the law requires a person who finds lost property to make a reasonable effortto locate the owner. In many places, if there is no means of identification, the property must be turned in to the police, who will hold it for a length of time, which varies considerably--anywhere from 90 days to 18 months in different places, to allow the owner to claim it. In some states, if the property goes unclaimed, it then (and only then) becomes the property of the finder.

Sure. " Finders keepers, losers weepers".
It depends on what you've found. A five-dollar bill can be difficult to trace to its original owner; but a wedding band or domestic animal obviously would belong to someone who is probably searching for it.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!
if you find something it does not become yours! heck, if your honest and return it, who knows, if it isn't very important to the person who lost it they might even let you keep it!
last year in school my friend found $20 that some one dropped. Being the kind person she is she told the person in the office that she found some money laying around and was wondering if any one had reported that they lost $20. The lady said no and told her if she didn't hear anything by the end of the week she could have it. sure enough that Friday she became $20 dollars richer!
today my cousin got mad at me because he found something at recess and thought he could keep it. he was showing it off to some people not knowing they were friends with the person who might have lost it. on the way out of school he was fighting with the people who said it was their friends and a teacher over heard. she stopped them and asked them what was going on.they told her and she told my cousin that it didn't belong to him and that he needed to let the other boys give it to their friend tomorrow morning.
while walking across the cross walk a kid in my grade who is friends with my cousin told him you should have just told them you found it at home! i turned around and said " NO he shouldn't have!" my cousin yelled back next time don't talk unless you know what your talking about! i said " i did know what i was talking about, you said 'look at this isn't it soooooooo cool? i found it at recess.' you said ' i FOUND it at RECESS' i think i know what i was talking about!"
lets say you lost something that meant the world to you, like the boy who lost what my cousin found at recess, i know him and he wore it to school EVERYDAY!!!! if you lost it you would or should expect some one to be kind enough to take a little time out of there day and report it to someone.
example: you lost your dog. you hang signs up every ware,report to the radio station and everything. now there's this person who finds your dog and decides 'i found this dog its mine after all there is a saying 'finders keepers, losers weepers.' yeah there may be a saying but it doesn't mean that's the way life is. some one will eventually find it and say 'hey isn't that the dog that Mr. Po Po is missing?' or who ever the dog belongs to.in the end its not worth it.
the true loser is the one who finds and keeps, and the true winner is the one you gives back when its not theirs!

I know you're an honest hard-working citizen. But I'm going to let you in on a secret. Not everyone shares that title with you. There are unscrupulous folks out there who'll try to take your money from you even though you've done nothing at all to them.
Today, I want to arm you against a financial scam that you might run into called The Pigeon Drop. The first thing you should note about this scam is that the hucksters are referring to you as their pigeon; a creature with a brain about a thousand times smaller than a human. They're looking for a sucker, or to use their terminology, a mark. They want someone who will trust them. The key to the pigeon drop, however isn't just finding a trusting soul, since they're essentially making the victim think that he or she is in a position to walk away with all the loot. They're asking you to be the trustworthy one, when in essence they're actually walking away with your hard-earned cash.
One variation of the pigeon drop works like this. Let's say that you're working your way through college by tending the late night counter at the local convenience store. Someone walks out of the restroom with an expensive looking necklace that they claim to have found in there. While they're talking about it the store phone rings and a frantic customer claims to have lost the item while in the store earlier. They ask if it is found and you tell them that, why yes, it was just located by another customer. The excited misplacer of jewelry tells you that there is a $200 reward for the return of the necklace. And that they are leaving their house right now to get it and to pay the other customer the reward.
Upon hearing the news about the serendipitous phone call and the reward the customer before you seems to be a basket full of mixed emotions. Sure they're happy to help by having found the necklace, and they'd love the reward but they're late for a job interview (or some other excuse) and must get going immediately. They turn to you and offer that should you be able to give them half the reward now so they may be on their way they will leave the necklace with you and you can keep the $200 when the owner of the jewelry arrives. Sounds fair enough, right?
You've heard it said that 'finders keeper and losers weepers'. Not so in this case because in this scam both the finder and the loser of the jewelry are in on it. Finder walks away with your $100 and you're left with a necklace that, while impressive looking, is probably only worth a dollar to two. The loser who called isn't coming to give you any reward. In fact the only loser in this situation is the honest person behind the counter who is now out $100. Don't fall for this old trick.
