In just about every instance when an arrest is made, some personal property is collected by the law enforcement agency. Most is simply stored to be returned to you upon your release from custody. Some is kept for evidence. Some items may be kept because law enforcement may believe that they were either used in criminal activity or are the fruits of criminal activity. When this happens, law enforcement might not be inclined to give it back to you just because you successfully beat the charges.
