[Avodah] Coat Room Mix-up

[Danny Schoemann]

The source for the Kitzur is the SA Choshen Mishpat 136:1.

The Be'er Hagola traces it to a Braisa in Bava Basra 46 and adds a few
words to the effect that it's not unheard of for somebody to sell
their clothes to the cleaners.

That would explain why the SA has a longer version than the Kitzur:

"Somebody whose clothes get switched at the workman can use them until
the owner comes and asks for them - but only if the artisan gave them
to him. If his wife/kids gave them to him then he can't use them. And
even then, only if the artisan says "take these clothes" but if he
says "these YOUR clothes" he may not use them."
