Question
A new battery was found. Is there an obligation to announce the find?
Answer
Since it has no identifying mark, there is no obligation to announce it. However, since it is possible that the owner is still alive and has not yet despaired of recovering his loss, you should record the details of the item, its approximate value, and where it is kept, and when Elijah the Prophet comes he will tell us whether it must be returned and to whom.
