All you have to do is prove you have a legitimate reason to have your money:

It’s called an ERAD, or Electronic Recovery and Access to Data machine, and [the Oklahoma Highway Patrol] began using 16 of them last month….

“If you can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money it will be given back to you, [a police spokesman said]. And we’ve done that in the past.”

Look at all this stuff we just stole, they said on Facebook:
