"Acquiring possession by an estray statute" refers to the legal principle that allows individuals who find lost or abandoned property to claim ownership of it after a certain period of time has passed, as regulated by local laws. This seems to be the case with Belle finding the tablet at Café Latte and being told that she can obtain title to it if it is not claimed by a certain time at the police station.
