Hi all,
My question involves the Seattle Police Department and some property (several firearms and a few knives) that was essentially confiscated from me a while ago.
I'm currently living in Boise and have been in telephone contact with a detective regarding the return of my stuff. In three separate contacts, I have still gotten no return calls from either the detective or another sergeant who has been covering for her while she's on vacation. I guess I feel like I'm getting a real run-around and I'm at a loss of what options are open to me. I have a relative going to Seattle who can pick up my things for me this weekend, so I placed another call this last Monday. No response yet. I guess I figured I would try and be polite and give them a few days to respond. I think I'm getting tired of waiting.
So: who else could I contact Friday morning/afternoon in the chain of command? If I were to threaten to get an attorney to represent me in this matter, how would one suggest I phrase it?
I've got names of who I spoke with, but no dates of when I called, nor any notes on what was said, so I am also worried that I may be screwed on getting my things back. It's not the money per se, but several knives were of great sentimental value to me. I can provide more details if necessary.
Thanks everyone and I hope to continue posting more and lurking less!
