What is the ruling on taking a vessel found in an uninhabited house and using it without searching for its owner?

A "Luqatah" (found object) is something found in a place not owned by its possessor, having been lost by its owner. Therefore, anything found in an inhabited or uninhabited house is not considered a Luqatah; rather, it belongs to the place, and a house usually has a known owner. Taking something found in an uninhabited house is considered an encroachment on another's property, unless it is exposed to loss, in which case it may be taken for safekeeping. It is not permissible to use it or to claim ownership of it, and whoever does so guarantees it to its owner.
