A: If you did not find cash in the car, then they will have to bring suit against you to recover the cash they claim, and prove that they left it in the car. If you did find cash in the car, then you may be obligated to return it - it will depend on whether there was an implied agreement as to whether the contents of the car would transfer along with title to the car.
