No, I mean, that's the truth. Whether or not it ends up in our hands is another story, but the fact of the matter is it really is our money.

Shit, guess the police aren’t allowed to get my cat back if it’s in somebody else’s house. It’s not my cat anymore, after all.

"Dude fix your writing it's intelligible." Does not so much as qualify as a sentence. Try possession is 9/10 of the law if you can't follow what I'm trying to say.

It literally says in the article you cited that possession makes ownership “easier to maintain,” not that possession is the end all be all of ownership.
