      Taking your own stuff back without giving the bloodsuckers (lawyers) their tribute.

      It definitely happens all the time with houses and apartments (kicking out squatters/trespassers), but I think I also read it in regards to taking back your own car or something like that. It was a long time ago so I don’t remember the details.

      I think it was that the owner called the cops, those did nothing because thief claimed it is his (despite owner being the registered owner). Owner was told to sue the thief so that judge decides who is telling the truth. So owner took the car later and got arrested.
