Absolutely disgusting. I'd have been livid.

I don't really know much about what happens on these police searches...but I think that if they've trashed your property looking for something and they don't find it, they should have to clear it up (I'm assuming they don't) and then compensate you a small amount, or more should they have damaged anything. Seems fair to me.
