T for thief

A house that is not legally owned
Is open to everyone for viewing
It does not matter who saw it first
It is the pocket that seals the deal

If the house is sold
But the sale sign is not removed
Strangers can wander there
Look around as they please

Will you guard a mango tree
That bears fruit on a footpath?
No one can claim it
We are all welcome to have a taste.
