The documents found must be returned to their owner without compensation. As for the amount paid to the rental office for car repairs, if the intention was to donate, then it cannot be claimed. However, if the intention was to have it returned, then you can only claim the amount paid, because a borrowed item is guaranteed by the borrower.
