Question 1

A robber digs cisterns in a stolen field and damages it. From what property may the owner collect damages?

Halacha 3: When a robber damages a stolen field, the owner can collect damages only from the robber's own available (non-encumbered) property.

Question 2

A robber sells a stolen field; the purchaser improves it; the original owner reclaims the field. How does the court handle the improvement?

Halacha 5: The improvement is evaluated — the owner pays the lesser of what the purchaser spent or the actual increase in the field's value.

Question 3

May a purchaser of a robbed field collect his purchase price from the robber's encumbered (previously sold) property?

Halacha 6: The purchaser may collect the principal (his purchase price) from encumbered property the robber had sold.

Question 4

After the robber's sale of the stolen field, the rightful owner gives the field as a gift to the robber. What happens to the purchaser's title?

Halacha 12: If the original owner gave the property to the robber as a gift, the purchaser acquires it — the gift retroactively validates the sale.

Question 5

Must the original owner of a robbed field publicly protest the robber's sale to protect his ownership rights?

Halacha 15: The owner need not issue a protest over the sale since it has already been established that the field was taken by robbery.
