This question is too vague. Yes it depends on how it came into possession and what you do with it. But I can't get any more specific without more details.

It could. How did you come into possession of it? Did you steal it?

Try rephrasing that and providing more detail. Just explain what is going on. Right now your question does not make any sense.

Of course it does. For example, if it was abandoned and you found it, you are the new owner and you can do what you please with it. Otherwise you could be charged with theft and/or vandalism.

Yes, under the laws of adverse possession, it is crucial.

If you have possession of someone else's property you should return it. You do not give enough facts in order to answer otherwise.
