Paul rented 123 Main Street. When he moved, Dana moved into 123 Main Street.

When she moved in, Dana found a nameplated copy of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest that Paul had left behind. She immediately threw it away.

When Paul returned to the house for the book, he accidentally left behind his nameplated copy of A Tale of Two Cities. Dana found it and immediately threw it away.

As he walked home, a nameplated copy of Three Little Pigs fell out of Paul's backpack and landed on the sidewalk. Dana found it and immediately threw it away.

In a common-law jurisdiction, does Paul have a civil claim against Dana to recover the value of any of his books?
