CF forfeiture laws are in theory supposed to be used against contraband and related materials. Nobody* is going to claim a suitcase with 3 bricks of cocaine and $500k whose owner the police are very anxious to locate.

* Nobody with a clue. Petty criminals do sometimes turn up at police stations looking for lost property of this kind and are then surprised to be arrested.

The law around freshly abandoned property, as declared by the police, would be nearly indistinguishable from reformed civil forfeiture.
