Is "recover" can be a synonym of find?
For example:
7 stolen cars had been recovered = 7 stolen cars had been found?
Top answer
No. "Found" only means that their locations have been determined. "Recovered" means that they are in the possession of the people who were looking for them or have been returned to their owners.
- No.
- "Found" only means that their locations have been determined.
- "Recovered" means that they are in the possession of the people who were looking for them or have been returned to their owners.
- A car can be found at the bottom of a flooded quarry, and you might just leave it there.
- But I guess that very often when a car is found it is subsequently recovered.
