Yes. And the same way, you can rent out your property with certain terms and conditions - such as no subletting and no alteration. If it is taken or used by someone who is not a party to the contract or outside the terms of the contract, then that comes under theft as well.

By owning the object to which the value is attached. The value is conceptual in nature - i.e. existing in people's minds, but it is a property of the object.
