Question
I found a Rav-Kav card on the bus with a name and picture. I asked around if anyone lost it. The driver (an Arab) heard me and told me to give him the card, and he would pass it to the lost and found department. Am I allowed to give him the card? Does the law change if the driver is Jewish?
Answer
Hello,
Currently, the balance is retained by the person, and they can transfer it to another card.
Therefore, you should not give the card to someone you suspect will not return the lost item and will use the balance unlawfully. [This does not depend on their nationality].
Even if, as a result, the person issues another card, they will receive their entire balance.
