"Right, @Qin Mu, I heard that as victims of theft, we can demand compensation, right?"
"Can we really get compensated? My ID card and other things are gone, and it'll take three months to replace them."
"My toothbrush cost eighty cents. How much compensation can I get?"
"Seriously? How many times the value will we get? Mine was an iPhone 13!"
"..."
Suddenly, someone in the homeowners' chat group tagged Qin Mu. Everyone joined in the discussion about demanding compensation. The act of theft was utterly despicable. It had delayed many people's affairs and wasted their time.
Qin Mu looked at the content being discussed in the chat group and, after a moment of thought, replied, "Legally, if stolen items are recovered, they should be returned directly. If they cannot be retrieved, compensation at the original price can be demanded."
"Furthermore, if the theft resulted in other indirect property losses, compensation can be claimed for those as well."
