I heard that most of the furniture taken (wicker chair set, stained glass lamp) was given to Laci from her grandmother. They also took unopened Christmas gifts, and stuff like diplomas, pictures. That's all they have left of Laci, so I can understand their desperation.

I totally think the family was taking back what went into the home before the marriage that was with her and her family for decades.
The family treasures would be sold or confiscated by lawyers if they didn't go in there.

Being only his family had access to the place, it is obvious the other side never intended to give the stuff back.

They maybe would have given back diplomas, but that was about all.
