I read all the Jack Reacher books a couple years ago, and one of the fascinating things about the character is his aversion to owning things. In some of the books, he talks about it a little and it’s an interesting insight to that worldview. I think they kind of stopped talking about it in newer books, and the character has gotten kind of less interesting because of it. At one point, he inherits a house, and that seems to become a minor trauma for him!

I’m guessing it has something to do with the neocortex.

Collecting stuff?!? In this economy?! Nah, I think its just an inherent human desire to collect things and show them off.
