Do we know what the warrant stated? If it authorized them to take the rack containing the server they were after, then this is legal, if unfortunate.

If the police have a warrant for my apartment, and you happen to leave your backpack and server, your stuff will most likely be confiscated, along with mine, if it interests the police.

No, this does not seem to be public knowledge. For all we know the Instapaper (and pinboard, etc) servers could have been included in the warrant.
There's a FOIA request out for the warrant. I'll be curious to see it.
