How to get items back from the Police, that they "lost"
Discussion
A few weeks ago i started a thread about my boy being visited by the police for a stupid act, which has all now been resolved.
However, the equipment that was taken as evidence has not all been returned.
Of the 3 items taken as evidence, one has not come back and cannot be found in the storage room.
The mother to my son has apparently tried to speak the police on a number of occasions (how much of this is true i don't know), but they keep telling her that it's not there.
What steps can be taken to get them to either return the item or pay for a replacement, if that's even possible.
Or is it a matter of going down the route of speaking to home insurance and telling them the story for a replacement?
It was an iPad that is about 6 months old.
Thanks

Thank you for the replies.
I've asked the ex what paperwork was used to collect 2 out of the 3 items, and if the iPad was recorded.
If she still is in possession of this document, then at least make an internal complaint though the police station site.
And if she doesn't have any update, then a letter indicating small claims court action for the cost of the iPad.
In addition to that, i've also told her to switched on the find my phone feature. I'm not an Apple user, so no idea how to do this.
But both her and my son love the Apple ecosystem, so i'm sure they know how to do this.
Will have to wait to see what happens next.

What are the chances of an update from the OP, do you reckon?
After speaking to 101, the iPad can be seen on the police system, but she has been told they need to produce a letter to obtain said iPad. I've left it to them to sort out, i don't have the time at the moment to look into this any further.
