The answer

If only you ride the car, then the Mus'haf (copy of the Qur'an) and the Misbaha (prayer beads) are a gift to you. However, if others also ride the car, then they are a Luqata (found item) and must be announced for a full year in the place where their owner is presumed to be. If their owner is not found, then they become your property, with the guarantee of their value to their owner if he appears, or they should be handed over to the Luqata preservation committee.
