Chances are the police will decline to involve themselves and tell you it is a civil matter since you willingly relinquished the computer to your friend.
Report it to the police, and find out what they say. They could say that it's a civil matter, but they could treat it as 'conversion', a form of theft.
The rest depends upon the facts, the policies of the police department, and the laws of the state in which this occurred.
