Property of course is a social relation -- not a "thing." Examine a
building from here to eternity and you will never be able to determine
its "ownership." That depends on a whole complex of social relations,
including police, legistlation, etc etc etc. Put another way, there is
no property of _any_ kind except through collective decsions of a whole
organized society.
