The aesthetic of appropriation

Is it wrong to covet other people's ceramic ornaments - would it be unacceptable to pretend they were our own, if only temporarily? What if a shelf were put up or a small display cabinet constructed and for five or ten minutes, say, we might cravenly exhibit or display these appropriated objects and indulge the pretence of ownership - would that be so wrong?
