So would you cede the point that is a person makes it out the door with the store’s receipt, upon which point ownership of said receipt transfers to him, that he is THEN free and clear to walk away and not show the receipt?

Ownership does not convey in that case ~ he simply keeps the custody he had when they handed him their receipt.

It's like when you buy stuff at a postal auction ~ (which is not all that good an example but I think it makes the point) ~ you can only BUY an ownership as good as that of the person who sold you something. It's always good to keep the receipt on any serious purchase just in case the owner shows up and demands his stuff.

If there's the slightest bit of legitimacy to the buyer's claim, you may have to pay him to retrieve it.

As it turns out WalMart can actually create duplicates of the receipt they gave you at will!
