This is not the sort of thing one thinks of as being owned, exactly, although it is certainly the something one might have. (There ... I'll leave you to ponder the difference between having and owning!)
5. Is this thing in the possession of one person or do other people use it also? Actually, we do witness it pass from one person to another.
