I think "care" (Sorge; maybe, "concernfulness") is the activity
that Dasein directs towards the ready-to-hand, not "belonging to
things ready-to-hand." And  I don't think there is any direct relationship 
between the ready-to-hand and the question of authenticity, since that
is always the question for Dasein.  

I think you've confused the ready-to-hand of things with Dasein,
that unique "thing" for which being is an issue.

kindest regards,
henry
