Does a finding of abandonment need to include a denial of ownership or interest in the property and physical relinquishment of the property?

19 The majority of previous cases in which the courts have upheld a finding of abandonment have involved both a denial of ownership or interest in the property and a physical relinquishment of the property. See United States v. Kendall, 655 F.2d 199 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 941, 102 S.Ct. 1434, 71 L.Ed.2d 652 (1981); United States v. Canady, 615 F.2d 694 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 449 U.S. 862, 101 S.Ct. 165, 66 L.Ed.2d 78 (1980); United States v. Jackson, 544 F.2d 407 (9th Cir.1976).
