Replying to Moral dillemma

so im a nice guy for the most part and don't like to fuck people over

the situation:

I moved into an apartment 12 months ago. One of my roommates alerted me about a foreclosure 30 minutes away. I was the only one with a car, so i drove him and another roommate to the foreclosure. Once there, we battled with 75 mexicans over every remnant of human possessions in the house. He claimed a recliner. I claimed other things (unimportant). We drove the recliner in my car back to the apartment.

Fast forward to today, which is the last day before we move out. He has been gone for months but decides to come back for the last day to grab the shit out of his room. He also claims the chair is his and wants to take it with him. I disagree and want the chair also. The way I see it, if it wasn't for me and my car, we wouldn't have had the recliner at all. I have the power to take the chair but I only want to if I have validation that i'm not being a dick by taking it

What do you think arbitrator ns? pls help
