Question
I was at a camp, and in the room I was in, after some time, I saw a kippah. I'm not sure if it's mine or not because, in principle, I don't think I brought another kippah (I remember bringing only two kippahs). I asked the boys in the room, and they told me it's not theirs. I also asked other boys (though not sure if I asked everyone), and they said it's not theirs. So what is the ruling? (Please pay attention to all the details I wrote)
Answer
Hello
From what I understand, the kippah is probably not yours, as you remember not bringing another kippah.
The issue is only regarding the law of finding a lost item.
If it is an item without a sign, and you have asked those who are supposed to be in the room, you can take it for yourself.
If there is a sign, announce it among the camp residents.
