A company doesn't take ownership of items that come in for repair/servicing, and simply locking other people's property into a room/shop/garage is hardly a basis for ownership as otherwise thieves could just nick something, lock it into a garage and then claim ownership.

I agree it doesn't make sense. > A company doesn't take ownership of items that come in for repair/servicing While this seems unlikely, it's not obvious to me that this is not what "technically" happens for consumer electronics.
- singleshot_ 3y agoThe concept at the center of this discussion, but which is not being discussed is called “bailment.” While every bankruptcy system has rules for unwinding those bailments entered into before filing, they vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and much of what we think would be workable or fair just doesn’t work that way.
