You should have an Attorney get a judge to sign an Order to Preserve Property. Then you have something to work with when they say they can't find your gun in 6 months. I beleive the courts automatically send a copy of the order to the evidence storage but I am not a lawyer or in Georiga.

All I can tell you is what I did. They "couldn't find my gun" and started telling me that they're destroyed every so often. I said oh yeah, I have my Order to Preserve signed by a judge and so you better produce my property and in good shape.

Funny thing, I had my stuff back the next day. Go see a lawyer. It can't cost that much to file one paper.
