A running car in a convenience store parking lot has the presumption that the owner will return to it very quickly, while a phone that has been left unclaimed for a few hours does not, but that has no bearing on the actions of someone who takes either one knowing that it isn't theirs and eventually sells it to someone else who also knows this.
Stripped to the bare essentials, we have: A) Guy takes physical possession of misplaced valuable item that is not his B) Well before he could think it reverts to him, guy sells item to someone who also knows the item is not his.
