Answer to Question 1

No. When Laurie left the clock at Anderson's she created a bailment. Because Anderson is in the business of selling clocks, Anderson passed title to Jay as a good-faith purchaser. Laurie has a cause of action against Anderson for conversion. If Anderson sold the clock knowing it belonged to Laurie, some states could consider the sale a crime such as larceny. All legal proceedings will involve Anderson, Laurie and possibly the government. However, Jay has good title to the clock and is the rightful owner.

Answer to Question 2

C
