If you press a libertarian to justify the moral basis for private property in Nature, eventually he has to admit that his conception is based upon one or both of only two things:

1. "finders keepers" or

2. conquest

both of which are at their cores a denial of libertarian principles. Conquest is obviously a violation of the NAP, and "finders keepers" is a denial of the principles of natural rights which underpin the very idea of Liberty. There is no way around this obstacle. There are no other options. There are only two ways that Property can come into one's hands rightfully:

1. by virtue of creation or

2. by consensual transfer of a right

and it is obvious that in the second case, stolen property cannot be consensually transferred. There are no conditions under which an individual can possibly acquire a property right to any particular plot of Nature that he could morally transfer, in the first case, so the chain of custody is broken at the very beginning.
