You could lose all your property, without compensation too, if your unlucky enough to have a big enough meteorite crash into it.

People lose property to coastal erosion all the time. Here there is a scheme to give some people replacement land further inland I think in some areas.

[mhb]

Impressive. Here they give them money to rebuild in the same spot and hope for the best.

[xattt]

Can you not cash in on the meteorite?

[whycome]

Or be native

[__MatrixMan__]

The natives lost something, to be sure, but I'm not sure it was property. Property is created when you kick everyone else out. I assume that's the rationale behind "property is theft," it used to be everybody's and now it's yours.

[gtowey]

You're correct. They didn't lose property as they had no legal concept of ownership. Instead they lost their homes, their culture, and their lives. How lucky for them!

[__MatrixMan__]

If they work hard enough, perhaps they can buy some of it back. How civilized.

[ipaddr]

Natives signed treaties which are still respected today.

[yieldcrv]

The level of respect is per treaty, a blanket statement cant be corroborated as many are not respected or dont have consensus amongst the affected people of being respected

[mc32]

Or lose a war, or bet your property or not pay taxes or eminent domain… but I guess nomads never had a immovable property claim.

[immibis]

Or Palestinian

Can't even have an article about earthquakes without signalling your political tribe.
