Yup. By his logic, if a thief holds someone at gunpoint and takes their property then they now own x. Furthermore, if they are then caught, by his logic, that property shouldn't be returned to the victim because the thief now owns it apparently.

Lol. They literally do own that property. They'll even sell it off for drugs or whatever as if they did own it. It's a very rare case that police will get off their asses and retrieve "your" stolen property. You can give them a GPS signal to the property and they still won't do it. Believing in this "posession/ownership" dichotomy is just as delusional as believing in imaginary intellectual property. It's just a flat out denial of the reality of things.

You know what's funny? In my country, Apple's security is more effective at deterring criminals than any of this "ownership" crap. A stolen iPhone is basically a brick that's worthless to anyone else. So they'd rather target Android phones instead which they can more easily reset and pass off as some used phone they own.

And the moment you stop defending your house, to go shopping for example, you no longer possess (nor own) anything in it.
