single word requests - Adjective describing possession by someone else



Is there any adjective in English that would describe a quality of belonging or being in the possession of someone else who is not the speaker?



In short, what adjective would you substitute for the words in bold below:





What's inside of this bag?



I don't know. This is not my bag.




or





What's inside of this bag?



I don't know. This bag is not mine.




or




Jack, don't touch that toy car.




Why?



Because that toy is not yours.



Answer



I'd probably use somebody else's.
