If you find a lost wallet full of cash on the street, can you legally just keep it?

No. Legally, "finders keepers" is a myth. If you find property belonging to someone else and keep it for yourself without making a reasonable attempt to locate the true owner or handing it over to the authorities, it constitutes the crime of "criminal misappropriation of property."
