common to all, is governed by law.
14 Certain things are not the object of any rights although
they may become so.
15 Moveable things which have never belonged to any
person or which have been voluntarily abandoned by their
owner belong to the person who takes physical possession of
them by occupation, subject to express provision of law.
16 A thing which has been lost still belongs to its owner,
subject to the rules of prescription and express provision of
law.
17 A treasure belongs to the person who finds it on his land.
