Xerys, ownership conveys certain rights to the owner. Among them is control of the item. Destruction is conceivably the ultimate proof of ownership in that you have absolute control over its existence (or life, in the case of livestock, which was often the subject of the "nine/tenths" saying - a live sheep is worth much more than a dead one).
As to the thermos bottle, you do know the joke about the dumb guy, who upon learning a thermos would keep hot things hot and cold things cold, bought one to use for his lunch & put some soup and popsicle in it?
Silly question:
Why does a mirror reflect up and down properly, but reverse left and right?
