the removal and storage of plaintiffs’ property was not a “tortious taking” but a lawful one. Storing the property rather than leaving it on the street was permissible and reasonable. This alone does not demonstrate a tortious taking and also fails to prove conversion. “The bare removing of one’s chattel from one spot to another, without denying his ownership, but on the contrary acknowledging it, cannot be a conversion.” Sparks v. Purdy, 11 Mo. 142, 145 (1847).
