You can't file a claim for any part of a celestial body anywhere. You can't own any part of a celestial body. You are out of business as far as celestial bodiies are concerned.

For example, if you bring back moon rocks to sell as trinkets, you will get no further than the three who ripped the moon rocks from NASA.

Nonsense. Many have done so, and even sell the deeds. They are still walking free, as far as I know.

You don't have to own a body to mine it.

For example, if you bring back moon rocks to sell as trinkets, you will get no further than the three who ripped the moon rocks from NASA.

Nonsense. They were charged with stealing government property, not with mining the moon. There is no US law to prevent them from doing so, and no one would be charged if they did.

Why do you want so badly to believe this myth? You continue to fail to cite anything in the OST to support your mistaken position. Can you cite a single expert in space law who will agree with you?
