Good luck with that. Quibble away! I have seen some things "returned" by law enforcement in the past. True they gave it all back, original condition, Not!! Had a friend whose car was seized, no evidence was found. He was told to pick it up, needed a tow truck and 2 pickup trucks to haul everything away. Tires demounted, fenders off the car, seats removed etc. And he still had to pay the impound fees. In the above mentioned case the guy was running for Police Chief at the time taking a very tough on crime attitude. Problem was there wasn't much in the way of crime going on. So he had to create it to be tough on it. Problem with that was nobody was doing anything criminal. In the real world cops can get away with a lot. Most wont try to and are good guys. But those few that are tools can be real big tools.
