No, they're trying to intimidate people, which is b.s. If you find $100 out on the street, you don't know who it belongs to - so it's yours. You certainly don't assume it must be part of the stash that fell off of a Brink's truck and return it.
There ya go. I kicked up your anarchist-side. Mission accomplished.
Yes, that's exactly what they're doing.
Why should the State shill for Brinks? That money was insured. The State is wasting taxpayer money by pursing this...and that's money stolen at gunpoint! (for the millionth time )
Since I know it belongs to Brinks that would indeed be theft. NAP violation.
But see how the State likes to bully people? You can't pin a theft charge on any of these people unless you have more evidence than "Hey, you found money".

Two flaws.
It probably doesn't belong to Brinks, but to their customers, but other than that, I agree: the people who took the money knew how to make sure it was returned to the rightful owners, and they should have done so.
It looks like there is evidence, and it looks like a lot of it came from private citizens.

I'm not really sure how the fact that this happened on a public road is relevant to anything.
It turns out that this thread in it's premise is not even valid. All of the analogies used were wrong. The truck was nearby and the two Brinks employees were trying to get the money. I'm assuming they were armed. The thieves were lucky they were not shot.

(S)ince the Brink's employees were present and could be seen gathering the money, those who grabbed the cash have no claim on it. The money belongs to Brink's while it is in transit, he said.
There's a video at the top of the above link taken by someone stopped in traffic going the ther way. Five seconds in, you can see the Brinks truck on the ide of the road. So the correct analogy is you're waking down the sidewalk and drop your billfold. Two people behind you and someone passing you see this happen at the same time you do and all f y'all run for the billfold. The three people passing me get the money and credit cards ut of the wallet.

Actually a standard law that is probably observed in most places, is that if you find money, you are required to take it to the police. They take your name and if someone doesn't show up within a certain time and make a credible claim to it, then it legally becomes yours. But there are some places where the government gets a percentage of it.

You kicked up nothing, but if you need it, take it. All I needed was clarification.
