Rule 180 “Personal property” includes money, goods, chattels, things in action, and evidences of debt.

Personal property is anything you own that is not land or a building. This includes cash, physical objects you can touch and move, and legal rights to money that someone owes you.

When this term comes up in a California court case, it covers a wide range of things. A car, a piece of jewelry, a debt someone owes you, a check, or a contract where someone promises to pay you would all count as personal property.
