<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

Reddit, My friend and I were out on a walk while he was high on Acid and we were going around the block when he saw a power wheel ATV. He started playing with it and was moving it back and forth when I told him to "Leave it alone before someone sees us." A few seconds later, six guys came out from across the street with bats at us. We got away but my friend lost his phone at the scene and it was confiscated as evidence to our "crime." When he was picked up by the police they told him he was going to be charged with "attempted theft" so I came to his defense saying I was there also and gave my side of the story. The police told us that the ATV was moved off of the property and that those are grounds for the charge. I was there, he didn't move it but a few feet but the police say the people across the street have video of it happening. He went to court to try to get an attorney but wasn't able to get a court appointed attorney so now he plans to represent himself. What can I do to help? I don't have enough money to higher someone for him other wise I would. He didn't steal anything and has no criminal record. I think the case is shit and wont stand up in court because there isn't enough evidence (i think) to charge him with something.
<bot>: My buddy was high in the wrong place at the wrong time and now is being charged for theft even though he didn't steal anything.
