If the present possessor of the stolen or lost thing has purchased it at a fair or market, or at a public sale, or from a merchant selling such things, the original owner may only have it returned by reimbursing the possessor for the price it cost him.
A lessor who claims, by virtue of article 2332, the furniture moved without his consent and which was purchased under the same conditions must also reimburse the buyer for the price they cost him.
