I am curious about how much the arrested vendors will be charged in court and the cost of regaining ownership of the confiscated property.

It is heartbreaking to see how many goods are confiscated, but order must be maintained. If vendors are given time to relocate, they should do so promptly and not rely on authorities failing to follow through after issuing a warning. Vendors must plan ahead and ensure they have a contingency plan in case of such warnings. By doing so, they can avoid confiscation by authorities. Ultimately, for vendors, losing merchandise means losing the assets they have invested in their business. Without assets or a source of passive income, restarting a business becomes nearly impossible.
