It's no different than buying a repossessed car or an abandoned locker. I can't imagine this going anywhere in a court. The current owner may have done nothing wrong and still have no right to the property in question. The law is much more complicated than that, and goods have been recovered after many more exchanges and the passage of time than have occurred here. The example I provided previously in the thread regarding Nic Cage's Action 1, for which his insurance company paid out his claim, still was returned to him even though the eventual "finder" supposedly purchased it from an abandoned locker. The "finder" got nothing. The insurance company was reimbursed by Nic. And the book was returned to him. Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did all that work without officially opening a case... which got me in hot water and led to 5 days "on the bricks" (the old expression for suspended w/o pay). So good for the sender not so good for me Even when Spidey saves the day, he still gets slammed on the front page of the Bugle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westform Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Lots of frustration, patience, resignation, perseverance, and negotiation finally got the seller to move enough to strike a deal between all parties.
