Plaintiffs do not allege, and the evidence failed to show, the second method of proof of a conversion: use which indicated a claim of right contrary to the owner’s rights. Defendant reasonably put into storage all the items found on its premises, and gave access to plaintiffs to identify and separate their articles from those in storage. There was no evidence that defendant detained plaintiffs’ personal belongings for its own use or disclaimed plaintiffs’ ownership. The evidence disclosed that defendant made no use of plaintiffs’ property.
