Monday's Three Burning Legal Questions: Arizona Edition

Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere.

1) Question: I just read that a baby boy was found uninjured in a car seat in the middle of an intersection in Arizona after the mother accidentally left the child in the seat on the roof of her car and drove away. Is this for real or is this a scene from the movie "Raising Arizona"?

Answer: Both. (The Associated Press, Phoenix police say mom forgets baby on car roof); ("Raising Arizona," Convenience store scene)

2) Question
: I bought a house, and while I was remodeling the kitchen I found $500,000 in cash hidden in the walls. Can I keep it?

Answer: No. In Arizona, at least, that cash is deemed to be "mislaid," not abandoned, so it still belongs to the prior owner or his/her estate. (The Associated Press, Paradise Valley man's heirs get cash found hidden in walls) (via Legal Juice)

3) Question: I am a 73-year-old grandfather living in Scottsdale, Ariz. I want to buy my grandchildren, who live out of state, some books at Barnes & Noble, but when I went to the store's children's section they kicked me out. Why? 

Answer: Sorry, but men alone cannot be by themselves in the Scottsdale Barnes & Noble children's area because other bookstores have had problems with child molesters. (Consumerist, Grandfather Says Barnes & Noble Kicked Him Out For Shopping Alone In Children's Section)
