Question
I lost an English dictionary. I saw a dictionary in one of the classes at the yeshiva (where I study English), and I am almost sure that I only took it out in the class there. Is it permissible for me to take it (because it is probably mine)? It is there on one of the tables, and I did not find it at home. It has no identifying marks.
Answer
Hello,
You may take it for yourself.
It has no identifying marks, and it is a common item in a place where English is studied, and the place is not secure. Therefore, according to the law, there is no obligation to return it.
Therefore, if it seems to you that it belongs to you, you are permitted to take it.
