Car doesn't have to sit "in evidence" for 9 months?
Likely not, but that's the DA's call.
It's not evidence of a crime beyond getting some fingerprints out of it.
It's a stolen vehicle and some cash.
There was no robbery, based on what little has been reported.
Car theft is generally $5000 and one year in jail, max.
Take some pics, dust the car for prints, release it.
Stealing the cash is a separate crime, but I don't see how it rises to robbery.
Barring unusual circumstances, 'recovered stolens' are routinely returned to the owner in a relatively short time.
