On May 27, 4293, the vessel was confiscated as evidence of a criminal case against the violation of the Customs Act, and kept by Nonparty 3, the head of the office having jurisdiction over Busan District Office, Busan District Office, the Defendant’s agency. On December 12, 4293, the removal of the seizure of the vessel from December 12, 4293 and the decision to return the vessel to the Plaintiff was not returned, but on November 13, 4293, the fact that the vessel was stolen and its whereabouts were unknown as of November 13, 4293 is still stolen, and there is no dispute between the parties, the court below’s witness 7, and Nonparty 5’s testimony and testimony, and the contents of the evidence No. 2 No. 2-1 through 4, and No. 3-1 through 3 are included, and the vessel is owned by the Plaintiff, and the market value of the vessel around December 4293, can be recognized as equivalent to 250,000,000.
Therefore, since it is apparent that the Plaintiff was unable to return the vessel as it was stolen, and thereby caused the damage at the present market price of the vessel at that time, the Defendant is obliged to additionally pay to the Plaintiff the amount of damage 2.5 million won as well as damages for delay based on the rate of five-fifths per annum from January 20, 4294 to the date of complete payment, clearly stating that it is the next day of the delivery of the instant complaint.

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed, and it is so decided as per Disposition by applying Articles 89 and 92 of the
