So long as there is no need for the computers as evidence then you have the right to get your property back. The police, for whatever reason, are often reluctant to release property that was once evidence. They are going to make you work for it, which means you have to file a motion to get your property returned to you. It would probably be a good idea to hire an attorney to do this motion for you. Good luck.
