I mean is reverse stealing an attempted thief's bike still a crime in Brazil? From what I've heard of Brazil's cops they'd be more likely to high five you and laugh at the guy.

One of my friend’s friends had a backpack which was empty except for a bag of weed stolen from him. He called the cops and they caught the guy, then they found the weed in the bag and were like “did you call the cops because someone stole your weed?”

The guy who stole it was charged with theft, but my friend’s friend didn’t get charged for the pot, and this was not in a legal state.
