Answer:

Personal property can also be acquired if it's given to you as a gift, by simply finding it and through "accession."

Step-by-step explanation:

Personal properties may be acquired not only by means of purchase. One way is when a person (donor) gives the property to another person (donee) as a gift. The donor may deliver the gift personally and the donee should accept the gift.

Another way is by simply finding the property. This should satisfy the fact that no one is claiming the property found other than the finder–provided that the finder is "NOT" a trespasser. The property found shouldn't be located inside a private property.

An example of "accession" is: when a person's pet dog gives birth to puppies, the puppies are immediate personal property of the owner.
