Here is my question. I would like either and answer or info on where I should post. Couldn't really find the appropriate forum.

Here it goes.

Is there an amount of time that makes something automatically yours if someone leaves it with you to look over?

I have had some collectibles of someone I know for about 4 years (Value is about $1000). I don't know what to do with them. I am no longer in contact with this person, have no way of getting a hold of them, but they can contact me. They haven't though in over 3 1/2 years.

I was just wondering if there is a legal amount of time that those items become mine.

Thanks for the help in advance.
