Of course a scenario like this can happen, and probably has many times.

Player 1: kills the mob with his main and the item drops with no one in the zone. . . then logs out.
Player 2: logs in while Player 1 is transitioning to their alt

Player 2 doesn't see anyone else in the zone and comes across the corpse with no one else in site. The corpse is still locked most likely.

If player 1's alt is not there in the zone (theoretically traveling to the corpse) when the timer expires Player 2 can then loot the corpse.
I am not saying it is Player 2's item, but he/she did not know the item was claimed rightfully by Player 1 until too late.

I would hope in this scenario something could be worked out by the GM's giving player 1 the looted item, even though it could've been an unintentional "ninja loot".
The way you work it out is by not ninja'ing the corpse in the first place.

If it's not your kill, it's not your loot. There's nothing subtle or hard to understand there.
