On TV, the police arrest someone for theft and if they can find the
goods or money he stole, the book it into evidence and the owner doesn't
get it back until ... when? When the trial is over? When all the
appeals have been heard? When the thief finishes his jail sentence?
The third is a joke, but do they really keep this stuff, that the owner
needs, when they could take pictures of it, write an affidavit about
it...?
One might say that from the owner's pov, it would almost make them
accesories to the original thief.
