Alignment based items

By Augustisimus, in Talisman Rules Questions

Just to clarify a dispute in my group:

Can a good character steal the Runesword from another character and then drop it? Or an evil character steal the Holy Lance from another character and then drop it?

Or is such a thing clearly impossible?

You cannot take an Object or Follower from another character if your alignment prohibits you from having it. If you defeat another character in battle or psychic combat and you decide to take an Object from him, you must be able to have that Object (take possession of it).

The same also applies to the Acquisition and Mesmerism Spells.
