This article gets into issues of replevin, which is an ancient common
law principle for restitution of objects of cultural heritage on either
a national or international basis. It can be quite complex, and with
respect to the Landau case gets into applications to archival material.
For those interested, there is a relatively recent review of the concept
of replevin online:

There's a good article in today's Baltimore Sun about the effort of a
few dedicated people to investigate and prosecute art and artifact
thefts from institutions, including the group currently sorting
through Barry Landau's possessions looking to see what else may have
been stolen besides what he was caught with:
