A purchase means ownership of the item transfers to the buyer unless stated contractually. Rylss is correct, the police have the right to take anything they need as evidence of a crime and hold it until no longer needed for the case or ordered to release it by a judge. The district attorney also has a say when evidence can be released. Having worked for department store security, I can't think of any way the store would have any say in it.
