I'm still thinking this has to be a mistake on the checkmark entry on the form.
As we both know, chain of custody has to be as minimal (direct) as possible, exchanging as few hands and locations as possible. Typically the officer that first places his hands on evidence/inventory for retrieval, is *the one* to directly/solely take custody of that evidence until it reaches the crime lab, evidence room, or wherever it is intended to be received.
All of the items listed on page 1 surely appear to have been items originally found in Room B of the home. They appear to all *possibly* be from the basement, tho we cannot be certain of Room B's location.
But if you are correct, then "somewhere" there would have to be another (previous) inventory/property sheet showing them on a "Items Received From" sheet, with their original location. That is why I still think it is just a mistake on page 1 of the form.
There are two copies of the items taken in the search warrant. One copy of items taken is 'returned' with the search warrant.
The copy left in the home shows items 'received (from)'.
Maybe we are talking about two different things.
