The 2 possible reasons that you can keep a קב in 4 אמות:

• it is too much a bother so the owner won't come back to collect it

• it is not valuable enough so the owner won't come back to collect it

• because the Mishna says you can keep it

• because it is scattered

• because it is on a threshing floor

if the reason you can keep a קב in 4 amos is because it is too much a bother, then can you keep 2 Kav in 8 Amos?

• yes

• no
