Over a year now since my home was broken into. 3 pistols, 2 long guns and some tools were stolen. Suspects were caught in posession of my guns 2 weeks after the theft. After several calls to the local police department that recovered my items, I was told that the states attorney will not release the weapons. I have been to court one time and was told I would be notified as to the disposition of everything. No response from anyone. These weapons are collector pieces that go back to WW2 and Vietnam, and are, or maybe were, in pristine condition when I had them. I am afraid that the longer they are in police posession the more beat up they will become. Does anyone know what my rights are concerning the return of my property and how to go about it without antagonizing the local authorities.
