I do not pilfer from other's herds. However, it seemed like neither one of you had a legitimate/recognized claim in place. Rather you were more interested in bickering about possession. I never really claimed him, I just gave him a cookie, he followed me home and I granted him sanctuary. I did not fold, fondle nor drool over him. He is neither worn or in need of repair but as hale and hearty as when he first arrived. The two of you need to resolve the issue of who has dibs. Once done he is free to go.
