If you find a €50 euro bank note lying in the street and you just decide to keep it, instead of taking it to the police in case anyone has reported it missing; you can't be accused of stealing

Actually, you can. You are expected to attempt to find the rightful owner. At least that is the case in the US. Of course, a law like that is in the books in case you find a bank bag full of money. I really doubt anyone ever got put in jail for $50. But it is conceivable.
