statue of limitations for holding property or evidence

[fugitivebuster]

I received by mail 10,000 dollars of money orders made out to me.I didnt reconise the person who sent them to me so I took the money orders to the company who issued them to find out if they were good. The store couldnt tell but said they wouldnt have a problem cashing them.I called the local police to report what had happened. The officer took the money orers to investigate if they were good or not. after not hearing anything for a couple of months I called the police dept and they stated that the case was forwarded to two differnt deptments for investigation and they would contact me when they found something out.This all happened in 2006 from 2006 to 2009 we lived in the same place we never received any info on the case. So we forgot about it until going threw some paper work so we decided to call the police departments involved the first dept stated they had forwaded the file to sheriffs office and another dept. which they never heard back from I called both other depts they had never received the files In the mean time the first police dept held the money orders in evidence for 3 years at which time they destroyed them with out ever finding out if they were conterfite or not. to me I lost 10,000 dollars and nothing I can do ??????

You can't lose something you never had.
If you had cashed fraudulent checks and spent the money you would have been in deep doo.
The checks likely expired long before they were destroyed, and in all likelihood they were bogus anyway.
