148: Consequences of failure to serve notice

You could also call this:

"Not telling about keeping goods doesn't make it wrong"

If someone doesn't tell you about holding onto some goods as described in section 149, it doesn't make the holding illegal. Even if they forget to let you know as they should have under section 147, it's still okay for them to keep the goods.
