IMHO it should not happen. Any company selling a product should know whether they are legally allowed to sell it.

Your analogy is completely incorrect, Amazon is NOT a legal authority and has no right to seize any one's property no matter what the situation, even if they are acting in good faith. It is up to the courts to rule the property as stolen. The police have the job to enforce the laws and function as directed to by LEGAL RULINGS not at the behest of a corporation or private party. Even if the police decide on their own the bike is stolen, it will not be returned to the person claiming loss, it will go into the evidence locker until such time as it is either proven to have been stolen, and if not, then returned to the person(s) from whom it was seized.
