Anna dropped off her engagement ring with Byron McKenna at B+B McKenna Jewelers to have the ring polished for her upcoming wedding. While Byron was at lunch, Betty McKenna, not knowing that the ring was there for polishing, placed the ring in a display case. Shortly thereafter, Harold entered the store, saw the ring in the display case and bought the engagement ring. What type of title does Harold have to the ring?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Harold has good title to the ring because he purchased it in good faith from a merchant who deals in goods of that kind. The fact that the ring was mistakenly placed in the display case does not affect Harold's title as a bona fide purchaser for value without notice of the mistake.
