Children

Chetzer

  1. In a guarded courtyard, the owner acquires ownerless objects that come there even without intent of the owner. This is only true if the owner knew that the object was there or that it regularly comes there.[2]

Four Amot

  1. Standing next to an ownerless object within 4 Amot is an acquisition of the object. This is only true in the areas of sides of the public domain or in a public domain that is temporarily grants to individuals, however, in someone’s field or in the middle of public domain this acquisition is not effective. [3]

Purchases for Someone Else

  1. When purchasing an item for someone else by merely doing the acquisition oneself the item automatically belongs to the desired recipient.[4]

Neighbor

Pitchei Choshen 8:3:14 quotes many who deal with the possibility that the Rama who adds that the buyer must state that the item is for the recipient or have the recipient appoint him an owner is only in cases where it is potentially harmful to the recipient. Otherwise, it isn't necessary because of the principle of zachin ladam. See there all the opinions.
