Society reifies and adjudicates the specific rules surrounding "property rights", but they also derive from our cultural norms and biological instincts: everything from "Finders Keepers" to "Your Home Is Your Castle". And predictably, these root nodes of moral claims to property frequently conflict.
I strongly recommend Heller & Salzman's "Mine!" [0] as a non-ideological and layperson-accessible exploration of the history and nature of property.
