Would think it would be held as evidence, No?

For what purpose that properly documented photos and chains of custody wouldn't accomplish?
If your house gets broken into, the authorities don't keep it for 3 or more years while trials and appeals are exhausted. Same for a car.
Why is it different with guns?
My plate was stolen and the police had it for over a year (state), lost it, then I was given a ticket for no plate.
Beat the ticket but was a big hassle getting a free replacement coupon from the troopers, went to a different barracks lied and got one.

And as you said in the post I quoted "I missed the part in the story where they returned the gun to its owner.
" My be it was returned?But I also believe Albany has a Safe Storage Law, so the owner may have an issue if from Albany.
