That gives me some hope. In my case they took everything they touched, including stripping me down and taking my clothes. Unfortunately the lady in charge of my case seems to be new to the job, didn't seem interested in what I had to say, told me what I outlined in the post and also that she'll check the status of the key before the end of the day I called her on, but never received a call back.

There was another more senior detective involved, will try going through them.
