You should be able to sue for the return of your belongings, but even if you win the case could go on for a while. Whether you win or lose (or even if you don't sue at all), you can just get a replacement certificate from the state that issued the original. Birth certificates are lost or destroyed all the time, so replacing them is a routine process.

You can get your birth certificate from the city hall where you were born. Call me if you have more questions.
