A player, 2 February 2010
Hello. I was wandering if I can use Stolen Property to put back in my hand a Friendly Traveler Sake that I played. According to Friendly Traveler Sake the opponent is the controller of the card but i'm still the owner. Thank you in advance.
Friendly Traveler Sake: Sake (This card is controlled by the controller of the Personality it is attached to). Limited: Transfer this card to a target Personality controlled by another player. It if attaches, gain Honor equal to the Personality's Personal Honor.
Stolen Property: Battle/Open: Target your Magistrate: Put another player's target attachment into its owner's hand. You may take an additional action appropriate to this phase.

Yes, this works as you suggest.
