you think you do, but eminent domain says it actually still belongs to the grocery store, you just have a transferrable/sellable limited set of cart-pushing rights, which get tricky when your cart and someone else's cart start to interfere with each other, plus the grocery store was stolen from native americans and the cart is made from the blood of exploited minorities
also if the cops see you sitting down on the sidewalk near a cart that means it's OK to shoot you

Yeah but what if I push the cart around for 20 years and nobody else touches it is it my cart?

Adverse possession is actually pretty intuitive, in context. Say farmer brown builds his fence about a foot onto his neighbor's property. He has trespassed, but after two years the statute of limitations runs and he can no longer sue for damages. However the neighbor still owns that foot under the deed records. After 35 years go by, the neighbor has literally never mentioned it and Farmer Brown's grandson goes to sell Brown's land.

At some point, the chain of title on properties need their own Statute of Limitations, where after a certain period of time, people can be assured that whoever has acted as if they own property is the legal owner, and any lawsuit to recover possession of that property will be time barred.

So "adverse possession" is just a statute of limitations against people saying, "No, actually, I own that land over there."

Now explain fiduciary duty!

You go to the grocery store for me, you're obligated to shop on my behalf. You are supposed to get the groceries I need, in your best judgment, and not supposed to get groceries for yourself if they were the groceries I needed. You're also supposed to tell me what groceries you got. If you violate these responsibilities, I can sue you.

Civil law recognizes that similarity between adverse possession and statutes of limitation—they’re both called prescription.

Acquisitive prescription = adverse possession
Liberative prescription = statute of limitation

When you make the second entry and the debits and credits balance, and you blow them to hell.
Since we're talking about adverse possession... Theres like a 2 foot strip of land next to my garage that is my property, my neighbors built a concrete strip on it and planned to put wood there and then asked me if I wanted to paint my garage or anything before they stacked wood there and I was like well that's my property you put that concrete strip on.

I don't really care if they keep wood there, the piece of land is not accessible to me at all really, it's totally inexplicable they way the garage was originally built but,

If I let them stack wood on that concrete do I risk losing that piece of my property?

Not addressing your situation but generally giving someone a license to do something on the land in question defeats the hostile ownership element discussed above.

If you are concerned you need to hire a local attorney to discuss it. I have no idea what your situation actually is.

you could write a simple contract, both parties recognize this land belongs to you but you are allowing them to use the land for the storage of wood in exchange for consideration of one case of beer a year or some poo poo, sign it with witnesses

as long as you get along with your neighbors should be fine, and if he ever tries to claim it just say look we both signed this agreement so we both knew it was my property

Hostile just means "looks like Brown intends to treat that property as if they own it." so, yeah, building a fence enclosing that strip into your own land typically will satisfy a jury that you "intended to treat the property as if you owned it."

the other party didn't allow it in the situation, so unless you're in one of those wonky states where a poorly educated judge misunderstood the hostile element to require you know you have no right to the land, fencing in someone else's property to your own is basically the definition of hostile

"they did it, and i didn't object" doesn't count as allowing it for the purposes of the hostile element. you need to have given permission to do it, not failed to object (because the whole point of adverse possession is when you failed to object and nobody really noticed the error for years/decades)

Another way to think of the "hostile" argument is "not permissive." Since nothing in blarzgh's hypo indicated that the fencing was permissive, and since it's an AP hypo, let's assume that it was "not permissive."

Point to blarzgh. Point to you for smacking EW. point to EW for being my bankruptcy bro.
