The Supreme Court dismissed the defendant's claim of self-help defense regarding items removed from seized real estate. The court found that the defendant, A, had no legal right to remove personal property attached to the seized building without a judicial order. Consequently, the court determined the actions constituted theft rather than a valid self-help measure.
