The document discusses different types of finders and keepers of lost objects in Jewish law. It notes that a finder ("shomer avidah") is responsible for a lost object until returning it to the owner, even if it gets stolen or lost after being returned somewhere the owner may find it. The discussion also covers whether returning an object to a secure garden or building fulfills the finder's obligation or if they must directly inform the owner.

3. This is a proof to רב יוסף This is a question on רבה אמר ליה : I agree with you in the case of animals. Since they have a habit of wandering, they require extra watching What does “ always ” mean? Doesn’t it mean even if it is lost or stolen from his own house? We see from here that he is like a שומר שכר ! רבה still considers him a שומר חינם , but he now considers losing an animal to be negligence The finder is always חייב for the object until he returns it to the owner’s possession איתביה

6. לֹא תִרְאֶה אֶת שׁוֹר אָחִיךָ אוֹ אֶת שֵֹיוֹ נִדָּחִים וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ מֵהֶם הָשֵׁב תְּשִׁיבֵם לְאָחִיךָ What does the Braisa mean by “his garden or deserted building”? His garden or deserted building that is extra secure That is the same as his house, and the Torah has already taught that This is a proof to רבה This is a question on רב יוסף אמר ליה : Really, the Braisa is talking about an extra secure garden or deserted building. The word תְּשִׁיבֵם teaches us something else: that he can return it without telling the owner אילימא It means he is allowed to return it to a garden or building that is secure in normal circumstances. We see that he does not have to guard it above and beyond a low level. He must be like a שומר חינם שמע מינה רבי אלעזר taught that every one must inform an owner when he returns an object, except for a שומר אבידה The word הָשֵׁב requires one to return an object to the owner properly (to his house). How do I know that one may also fulfill his obligation of returning by leaving it in his garden or deserted building ? תְּשִׁיבֵם teaches even that fulfills his obligation. איתביה
