It's not that difficult. All you have to be able to do is to chase away anyone who wants to take it over. Or you can build fences and put locks on it. You have at least some means to protect your property without government, and these means can be pretty effective. Locks, safes, fences can keep people out or make it more difficult to access your property, and your strength or weapons can keep people out.
A government gives you added protection for your property, but it simply isn't true that without government you don't have any property protection. People still have property in Somalia.
Intellectual property, on the other hand is meaningless without government. Anyone who sees your book can make copies, and there is nothing you can do about it. It is only government that could prevent people from making copies.
