If cops wrongly destroy guns, should they replace the guns?

When Guns Are Wrongly Destroyed, Should Cops Pay or Replace?Buried in a Wednesday Fox News story about how police sometimes wrongly seize firearms from people was a reference to a California case in which the Torrance, California Police Department wrongly destroyed 21 firearms that were family heirlooms taken and then held despite two court orders. http://libertyparkpress.com/guns-wrongl ... y-replace/

I knew a USCG petty officer in the early 80's off the Polar Star, arrested by SPD for pointing his grandfathers vintage 1911 at a guy who tried to rob him. He had a CWP. No charges were filed, but SPD thoughtfully engraved the case number on both the slide and frame of his gun which he had to go to court to get back.

You can't replace a family heirloom, so they should pay fair market value. If the courts decide that it was malicious or negligent, other penalties should apply.

Personally I think they should have to pay seven times market value.
