To intentionally place an article down and then go away, forgetting it, is not in the eyes of the law a losing of it, nor is the subsequent discoverer of such an article the finder thereof. Such articles constitute "mislaid goods" which are in the custody of the proprietor of the "locus in quo" and not of the one who discovers. (Brown, 2nd ed., p. 38)
