A family jewelry business that lost $42,000 when police in Indianapolis simply took it and kept it is getting it back.

The Institute for Justice has confirmed the money is being returned to the small jewelry operations of Henry and Minh Cheng.

A customer earlier this year sent them $42,000 cash as payment, but it never arrived because "Indianapolis police seized their parcel and tried to take the money without alleging any specific crime," the IJ reported.
