我朋友早前偷了一架電單車，將車身編號磨掉，被捕後在法庭上認罪，車主對法官說該電單車被磨車身編號，不能再使用，故在庭上要求賠償車價18,000，我朋友願意賠償18,000，請問賠償後該証物電單車係歸我朋友定係歸車主？請問係咪有一條條例叫賠償額不得多於證物實際價值的？

1. Neither. HKSAR Government.

It is a proceed from criminal activities. The Government is within its right to confiscate.

2. Not at all.

In general, when a court awards restitution to the victim, it intends to redress the victim's loss. However, it does not preclude the victim to seek additional damage when needed.

If additional damage is awarded, the restitution previously paid will offset the damages to achieve no double recovery.
