Of course once we get all the computers back we will then have more computers and phones than we know what to do with. Anyone want to buy a used computer that was under government control for nine months?
Maybe offer it on a crowd funding site as a reward for donations to your legal fund to make you (closer to) whole after this tragedy?
Or something else that may attract some publicity.
Please consider doing something profound. Your situation is rare. Few people have undergone this torture and come out with so few wounds.
Forfeiture law is one of the most egregious legal disasters in the USA. The property is considered criminal and people do not even need to be charged with a crime in order for the property to be seized.
This is one of the most corrupting influences on law enforcement. Seized property goes to fund their department slush funds. The law turns all law enforcement into a vast corrupt criminal conspiracy worth of RICO. You are incredibly lucky. These laws get people killed, they impoverish, they are a great blight on the USA and any other country that follows this evil path.
The worst part is that these laws are on the rise. In most jurisdictions they are being expanded in order to be 'tough on crime', but what they do is turn those who are meant to be enforcing law into the worst criminals.
Whatever you decide, know that there are many that are grateful to you, for being strong during a horrible ordeal, and for setting a hopeful precedent that there are at least a few judges that aren't yet completely corrupted.
Thank you.
