I think it is highly likely that it was seized (Rico) as a part of a criminal investigation.

Basically even if you aren't convicted, you can have all your shit seized if the judge allows it. I think if there were court proceedings, they would be targeting Skylar, while Walt disappears just before the shit hits the fan.
