What is the name of your state? Penn
Note: This took place in March of 2004
I had some personal property seized. I came home and State Police were at my door who conducted the search while I was not home and advised me what happend. He asked me to come down to the barracks for an interview. I agreed. There he and his partner asked me some questions first said though don't worry you will be leaving here tonight. The questioning lasted about 90 minutes. From there they said I could go. The one trooper said he had my business card but would not call me at work because it is not my employers business to know anything. I said thank you to him.
Oh to mention though my place was not searched due to an investigation of someone else but of me. Thought that my be important to say.
To go on. As I said this happend in March of 2004. I have not heard one thing since until this past thursday Feb 15th 2006. I came home (now living in the same town but a differnt place) and in my door was a business card. This was the same trooper that originally met me at my place when the search took place. He did not write anything on his card like "Please call me". I felt the best thing to do was to call him to show I was not hiding anything. I called him Thursday night left a message on his voice mail and til now Sunday night have not heard back from him. I left him my cell phone number. Although on Friday I had my phone off for most of the day because at work I can't have it on.
My question is this: I wonder why after almost 2 years to the month I now hear from this trooper but so casually as him sticking his business card in my door. I have heard that seized property must be returned by a certain amount of time if no charges are filed. I heard 3 years on the radio. Is this correct? Or is it determined by the state you live in or is it federal law that dictates this. Like I said I have not heard anything in 23 months until now. Honestly I had decided not to even worry about getting my property back. It is worth about $2,000 but that would have meant I would need to contact them to do this and I just did not want to even think about it anymore so I was willing to let it go and considered it lost property. I would have thought they would just send me a letter if they were returning my presonal belongings to advise me of this - which is what i hope it is and not something else.
Depending on the answer to this question I will elaborate further if need be. But no need to give more information until I get some responses.
Thank you for your time.
