Re: Who's property is it?

No, it is not your ex-boyfriend's shed if he gave it to you as a gift to replace the shed which he told you to get rid of. However, if he did not give it to you as a gift and you were not involved in paying for this shed or have any other lawful claims upon it, then he probably retains sole ownership rights to the shed and, if so, it should be returned to him. (The fact that the shed is sitting on private property is irrelevant to the issue of ownership.)
