Hire a lawyer to get it back from the police.

That's the most confusing answer I've ever read.

How so?

Didn't think I needed to spell it out but here goes. If the police can take your things away at gunpoint, a lawyer isn't going to be much use.

(Yes I'm aware of civil forfeiture. This discussion was about places outside the US).

Where do you live that armed bandits robbing people of _land_ is an issue but municipal/police corruption is not? And also there is no legal recourse to contest having your land seized?

Obviously it can’t be Canada, where property, including land and businesses, can be seized pending forfeiture being declared by the courts.

		That's exactly my point. mothballed waxed poetic about how "free" a land without government control is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48114935 I don't see that as a paradise. No matter where you live, someone will come along and take your shit by force. At least in a functioning state with rule of law there are rules about how much they can take, and you get other services in return.
