"We can release them once you sign a waiver acknowledging they are part of an active investigation." "I understand you want these items back. I will inventory them now and you can have them tomorrow." "I understand how important these items are. They are being held for legal reasons related to the investigation. I can give you the contact information for the person who can update you on their status and the process for their eventual return."

"I understand how important these items are. They are being held for legal reasons related to the investigation. I can give you the contact information for the person who can update you on their status and the process for their eventual return."
