§21-1702.
   
   One who finds lost property under circumstances which gives him
   knowledge or means of inquiry as to the true owner, and who
   appropriates such property to his own use, or to the use of another
   person who is not entitled thereto, without having first made such
   effort to find the owner and restore the property to him as the
   circumstances render reasonable and just, is guilty of larceny.
