Eman, a vagrant, found a bag containing identification cards and a diamond ring along Roxas Blvd. Knowing that it was not his, he went to the nearest police station to seek help in finding the owner of the bag. At the precinct PO1 Melvin attended to him. In the investigation Eman proposed to PO1 Melvin, “in case you don’t find the owner let’s just pawn the ring and split the proceeds fifty-fifty (50/50).” PO1 Melvin then went straight to the pawnshop and pawned the ring for P50,000. Eman never saw PO1 Melvin again.
