Can I sell a mobile phone I found?

I'm surprised it was given to you after a couple of months. When handing found stuff in to the police it doesn't become yours unless unclaimed after six months. At which point, you can do what you like with it, including using it, selling it, eating it. As this wasn't given to you under these stipulated circumstances I'd be a bit wary of legal ownership.

The police don't return phones either, I handed one in last month, had no intention of going back for it anyway, but I decided to read the small print on the receipt.

I would send it to phones 4 U, and then donate the money to charity.:A
