1. one would think that theft would make it not a "reasonable" search and seizure.

alternatively, if they want to take the view that the seizure was reasonable at the *time* the items were removed in the course of executive the search warrant, then a theft took place *after* the execution of the search warrant when the police lied about how much cash was taken.

in any event, it's obviously a recipe for terrible government for the police to effectively have a free pass for thieving in the process of executing a search warrant.
