It's not that hard to come up with a partial hack - Shacklebolt was in 
charge of looking for Sirius in OotP, so he could have brought his 
effects back to HQ.  Where Sirius's possessions were while he was in 
Azkaban is another matter - there was sufficient evidence against him 
after Pettigrew's explosion to obviate any need for an investigation 
of his stuff by the Ministry.  Certainly it's unlikely that any Order 
memeber would have kept them carefully for him during his 
imprisonment.  *Sigh*.  Yet another thing that needs a post-hoc 
rationalisation.
