One of my faves, beechhouse. It also makes a very important point about why "ownership" is necessary in the first place: scarcity. Remember in the film, the object that falls from the sky becomes a source of contention because it is so useful, and there is only one of it.
It also illustrates the direct connection between private property and theft. Since there is only one of it, and it is useful, others covet it as their own private property and steal it from their neighbor. Whether the utility of the scarce object outweighs the harm to society of theft is another question, but it is foolish to deny the direct connection between private property and theft.
