Translated from Yalkut Yosef Online (Yalkut.Info):
1. If A has no witnesses to prove B stole money from him/her
and B leaves an object by A’s home that has close to the same value of the
object, A can hold the object until B returns the money or sell the object and
keep the money to him/herself. This stands only when it is known that B (the
thief) is a violent and aggressive individual and there is no chance that A
will have the opportunity to take B to court or deal with an aggressive
individual like this.
2. In this time, our Courts (Rabbinical) judge on matters of
loans, the marriage contracts (ketubot),
inheritance and harming one’s money because this includes a loss of money.
However, in regards to judging a case about actual damage to an individual, our
Rabbinical judges do not have the tools (do
not have semicha) to judge all the major cases within each situation. The
Rabbincial Court can only judge on the medical bills and the opportunity cost caused
from the suffering one causes another, and not the actual damage, suffering or
embarrassment caused from the situation.
