A possessor in good faith is not responsible for the deterioration or loss of the thing possessed, except in those cases in which it is proven that he has acted with fraudulent intent. A possessor in bad faith is in every case responsible for any deterioration or loss, and even of such as are caused by vis major, when he has with evil intent delayed the delivery of the thing to its lawful possessor.\nHistory —Civil Code, 1930, § 386.
