Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Katrina has superior right to her own wallet, but since she is unaware that she has dropped it, her right can be transferred to the person who finds it (Billy) as the lost property. The storeowner has a duty to take custody and care of lost property, but they do not have superior right to it. Therefore, Billy has the best right to the wallet after Katrina.
