The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “A deposit is an act by which a person receives the property of another, binding himself to preserve it and return it in kind. La. C.C. art. 2926. A voluntary deposit takes place by the mutual consent of the person making the deposit and the person receiving it. La. C.C. art. 2932. Consent is implied when the owner has carried or sent the thing to the depositary, and the latter knowing that the thing had been sent, has not refused to receive it. La. C.C. art. 2933. “However, for the delivery of the object to another to constitute a deposit, there must also be mutual intent, expressed or implied, ... that by the act of accepting it the person who receives it has bound himself to safeguard it. Article 2926.” Coe Oil Service, Inc. v. Hair, 283 So.2d 734, 738 (La.1973).”
