So far he's gotten back 6 of the 50 tools he's lost. The rest will be held by the government until whatever trial(s), if any, eventually occur. Then they will be sold at auction.
The carpenter that allowed the governent to confiscate all of this property might be informed of the auction, whenever it is held, though it won't do him any immediate good, because he can't wait for years to buy replacement equipment.
The people who will profit most are, of course, the lawyers and all the associated government drones that will facilitate the trial and everything else. The police who did nothing until he took the bull by the horns and handed them the thieves on a silver platter will continue to collect their salaries during the entire process will likely be the primary beneficiaries of then auction whenever it is finally held
He'll end up poorer because he'll probably end up having to obtain legal counsel during the process to protect himself from any insanity that the legal system may come up with to further victimize him.
Bottom line: the police exist to generate revenue, and the courts exist to make sure the legal profession keeps rolling in the dough.

Both are losing money. You rant but provide a false opinion.
