Conversion is specifically related to personal property, not real property or contractual rights. It involves an unauthorized act that deprives the owner of personal property without their consent, which is different from trespass (which can involve interference with property but not necessarily the assumption of control or ownership over it). Not all conversions are nuisances, as nuisances typically involve interference with the use and enjoyment of land, and not all conversions involve interference with business contracts.
