A:
If the police are holding your property for investigation, there is no set timeframe for its return—it varies depending on the complexity of the investigation and the legal process. However, if no charges have been filed against you, you can inquire about the status of the investigation and request the return of your property. If it's not resolved informally, you may need to petition the court for its return.
Keep in close communication with the department handling your case, and document all interactions. If you feel your rights are being unduly infringed upon, or if the process is taking an unreasonably long time, seeking legal counsel may help expedite the return of your property. It's important to demonstrate proof of ownership and any other relevant documentation to assert your claim.
