In Ricketts v. Liberty Mutual Ins. Co., 127 Ga. App. 483, 488 (7) (194 SE2d 311) (1972), the insurance company obtained judgment against several defendants in a trover action for their conversion of a quantity of rugs to which the company had lawful title based upon assignments received from the rugs' owners. On appeal, defendants objected to the absence of the insurance policy under which the claims were paid, and the Court held that the policy was irrelevant because the trover suit was based upon the assignments. Id. at 488 (7).
