Do not show even the littlest bit of frustration with the police. Be sympathetic towards your mom and very cheerful and matter of fact about your guns being returned. They are not in the business of returning guns, so you have to be a real cool cucumber to get them. Intimate that you are there to pick them up right now. If not possible then when? Date? Time?
They took them to cover their butts and had a duty to make sure that no one was hurt with a gun after they were there. Fine. They did that. Now they have a duty to keep your property in same condition as it was taken and make sure it gets back to you undamaged.
If they do their annual weapons destruction and you do not have an order to preserve property filed, you may be out of luck.
If they will not give them up the first trip to the station...GET A RECEIPT FOR THEM. That is important. They could "I'm not seeing these weapons back there, are you sure they were brought here?" Get the receipt. You may get good guys you may get thieves. Good luck
