Getting your property back is a pain, but doable.
I've had the unfortunate circumstance of having my guns taken away due to overzealous PD here in Florida due to a divorce. Needless to say, it wasn't fun having to clear my name, but I ultimately had to fight for my property. For those of you who need to get your property back and restore your second amendment rights, it is important to do the following:
1. Hire a lawyer; not just any lawyer, but one who is familiar with the judges and prosecutors in the jurisdiction where your property is being held.
2. File a Replevin to get your property back. You will be filing it to be served to the person in charge of evidence at the jurisdiction where your property is being held.
3. You'll need to go to court with your attorney to get it back (well, at least I did). Don't just pick a random attorney, look for someone who specializes in recovery of your type of property.
4. If you can supply proof that you are mentally fit and can get a letter to that effect by a professional, it can only help your case.
5. Show up with your attorney and if all goes well, they will immediately issue a court order to have your property returned to you.
6. Pick up your property, check it well and head to your nearest target range (after some maintenance).
The whole ordeal cost me about $1500.00 and 3 months, but I ended up recovering my property (about $6000.00 MSRP [as if there were ever such a thing.. ])
Cheers.
Hoping this helps someone. All is NOT lost. It's doable, just not fun. Then again, when was suing the PD ever fun?
