“Obviously such things must have human attention and if the legal owner abandons them some other person, the would be abandonee, may, relying on evidence of abandonment move in and halt or reverse this sure trend toward nature, and this moving in and halting such a trend toward nature is the act that vests that person with a claim against the property. Now this evidence of abandonment is very important, without it the would-be abandonee is not justified in moving in and halting the trend toward nature. This evidence may be something that the abandonee perceives about the actions of the abandoner or some fact about the condition of the property itself to indicate abandonment.”
