Pool Table Dilemma: Ownership/Abandonment?

In 1980 a company placed two pool

tables in my business to recrive one

half of the money that the tables

made. I purchased the tables from

the tables' owner in '87. There was

no contact of any kind with the

tables company until 2007, when,

my manager let this same company

put a vending machine in my

business, in the room with the

tables I purchased more than two

decades ago. The tables company

new manager, has called and

stated , he wants to pick up his

vending machine and the tables

they placed there years ago. The

owner I purchased the tables died

10 years ago. I paid $1800 in cash

and I am not sure I can find my

receipt. Legal costs probably

exceed the value of the tables. In

the eyes of the law, how do I

stand?

Re: Pool Table Dilemma: Ownership/Abandonment?

Your post is far from clear. You start off by saying a company put the tables in the business, then you say you bought them from the "owner." You don't say how the "owner" got ownership of them from the company that put them in there.
