So in any jurisdiction where the kit did not become the property of the state (and don't mention this thread to California, it might try to claim the abandoned kits
), who is considered the owner of a rejected gift? The first person to see and grab it?
What if the question was phrased differently, maybe if the FA said "These kits are provided for your in-flight use" and then kit wasn't used, would it be considered like hotel amenities, which if you don't use them during your stay would be considered to remain the property of the hotel? I'm thinking specifically of single use/user items like cups, shower caps, etc.
