If you were arrested, the cop had a warrant. You only need your rights read to you if you are subjected to custodial interrogation. The result of the failure to read your rights is that any inculpatory (guilty) statements would be suppressed at trial.

You need to hire a lawyer and be prepared to share everything that you did in an effort to return the property.
