Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

possession of paraphernalia

I let a friend stay at my apartment for a couple weeks because he got kicked out of his apartment. He left a marijuana pipe at my place. Over Christmas i went to my mom's house. While i was away maintenance came into to my apartment for repairs. When i returned to my apartment it was ransacked. My friends pipe was gone. My coal incense burner from church that i had in my prayer corner was also missing. Over the holiday a police officer tried to call me on my phone but didn't get a hold of me. He didn't leave a message. However, he called my dad and left a message for me to call him back but said that it wasn't an emergency.

At this point what should i do? Obviously, i should get a lawyer but other than that. Would it be foolish to call the officer to see what its about? I am a college student and don't want to lose my loans and education over a paraphernalia possession when i don't even own paraphernalia or do illegal drugs anymore. Help!!! I'm very distressed over this
