Meth Lab Busted in my apartment and the kid wants his stuff.....

I had a tenant die (of "natural" causes I believe) 3-4 weeks ago. Apparently her son decided that her apartment, in my building would a grand place for a meth lab.I found out about the dead tenant and the lab in the same phone call with the police. Anyway...He was busted last Monday and the unit was tagged by the health department.  No one in/out and nothing is to be removed until the unit is tested. I haven't got around to making a decision on which company I want to do the testing yet.

Here comes the question.....The kid had the sack to call and leave me a voicemail today (no apology for being a white trash loser and damaging my unit of course) and asked if I would let him in to "get some clothes and stuff".

My response was that no one was to enter per the HDept and they texted back that they called the jail and they said he was allowed to get his stuff. I fired back that he needed to call the HD and sent a pic of the door tag stating that nothing was to be removed.

Not asking for legal advice. How have others here handled this?
