More details to this question:
I called the police and told them that the items were there and if they were there then possibly they had other items. 1 item was found and identified but there were other items there that had no distinquising marks so they could not prove they were mine. There was a charge of 5th degree theft against the person but I was wondering if there was anything I could do regarding the other items.

You should contact a local attorney to discuss your case. Depending upon the circumstances, you may be able to file a civil suit or a small claims case. The burden of proof is different for a civil case than a criminal case, and if the facts support a civil case, you may be able to prevail in a civil case and not as is the case here, in a criminal case. A local attorney could advise you.
