I'd drag them to court to get them back, if for no other reason than to embarrass the policymakers. Policy does not override law, no one can legalize murder, robbery, thef or assault by declaring it "policy". If someone unlawfully retains your property, it's theft. We don't need a court to give us a blinding glimpse of the obvious.
Another reason I'd go after them is it's a mark of innocence. If you quietly melt away, it might look like you tacitly admitting guilt (silence is acceptance, and all that).
Consider filing a complaint with the PA State attorney general, as Phila and Harrisburg have along history, and Phila is well known for being a rogue antigun bastion that gets reined in once in a while.
And as another poster pointed out, there's the publicity aspect.
Just my thoughts.
