BTW congrats on getting everything back and your buddy is lucky he is not getting charged with anything!

Last year there were some break-ins in my neighborhood. So one of my neighbors one night catches some kids trying to get into his car in his garage, because he left the door open. so he locks the doors and closes the garage and now he has 3 kids locked in his garage waiting for the cops to get there.

cops get there find out that these are the kids that have been breaking into all the houses around and arrest them, but they also arrest my neighbor for locking these kids in his garage. He didn't hit them or nothing he just locked them in, in fact the kids did a considerable amount of damage trying to get out.

Long story short He got a summons to court for "attempted kidnapping" the kids got let go no findings, my neighbor paid a fine, lawyer costs, and probation to keep his ass out of jail, all because he caught the kids that caused so much property damage and loss in the neighborhood.

So much for the justice system!

I would have called it a "citizens arrest" when I called the cops....
