If a thing leaves the control of the possessor and arrives on a plot of land in the possession of another, the possessor of the plot of land is to permit the possessor of the thing to search for and remove the thing, unless possession meanwhile has been taken of the thing. The possessor of the plot of land may require compensation for the damage caused by the search and removal. Where there is the concern that damage will be caused, the possessor of the land may refuse permission until they are given security; it is inadmissible to refuse permission if delay entails danger.
