   Sega accidentally threw out some proprietary Nintendo game-development   
   hardware and prototype games, and then, realizing what they’d done   
   about three months later, called on police to arrest the person who   
   bought them   
   .   
      
   The police did eventually release him, but then tried to get him to   
   sign a “formal disclaimer request” giving up ownership of the items he   
   had legitimately bought, which he refused to do. If they really were   
   stolen goods, the cops could have seized them without needing his   
   agreement.   
      
   Meanwhile, the cops are still holding on to the items.
