I have two items that have been left in my yard one appeared out of no where the other I know about. If the owners don't return for then are they mine? And how long do I need to wait to claim them?

Laws on abandoned property vary from state-to-state. Where are you?

Mississippi

I would notify the Police - of course, if someone left a baseball in your yard and you keep it it's a lot different from an automobile.

What "items"?

If it's a vehicle, this (http://michie.com/mississippi/lpext.dll/mscode/1314f/13c48?fn=document-frame.htm&f=templates&2.0#) would apply.
