We shall, B'Ezras Hashem, now begin studying the Halachos of Hashovas Aveidah, returning lost objects to their rightful owners.
We will endeavor to provide as many practical examples as we move along, as these halachos are pertinent to every day life, yet are often not properly understood by many people.
1) The Posuk (Vayikra 19:13) states "...V'Lo Tigzol, and you shall not steal"
another Posuk (Devarim 22:1) states "...Lo Tir'eh Es Shor Achicha Oi Es Say'oi Nidachim V'Hisalamta MayHem; Hashev Teshivem L'Achicha, do not see your friend's ox or sheep that are lost and turn a blind eye from them; return shall you return them to your friend."
A few Pesukim later it says (Devarim 22:3) "...Lo Tuchal L'Hisalem, you may not turn a blind eye"
2) The three aforementioned Pesukim encompass the positive and negative commandments that can apply to returning, or not returning, lost objects to their rightful owners, as we shall soon see in more detail.

QUESTION:
you had written that saying amen prior to completion of a bracha is problematic.
Is this so for kiddush when the one reciting it for his guests extends the nun sofis of "hagafen" for a couple of seconds, yet the guests answer amen prior to his finishing the word hagafen.
ANSWER:
Yes, ideally that "nun" should not extend, and the amen said only after he completes the entire word.

The verse says "Rejoice Zevulun at your departure and Yissachar in your tents."
One should rejoice from learning Torah just as Zevulun rejoices when he succeeds in business.
The more money he earns, the happier he is. So, too, the more Torah one learns, the happier one should become.
Rav Avraham Weinberg of Slonim Zatzal as quoted in Sefer Torah Tavlin
