They could only do it by waterboarding the creator of the encryption software until they tell them the secret to bypassing it.
Failing that, nope.
I've found a Micro SD card on the pavement and it's encrypted

How many Russian viruses do you now have?

Ban OP, I just wasted 5 minutes reading this thread.

Its about the journey, not the end surely?

Nahh, I reckon they can crack it to be fair. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they had a complete backdoor for things like BitLocker. Maybe I’m just too suspicious
Back in the day I used to hang out in a programming group on IRC with a guy that was responsible for a lot of the video game encryption/DRM hacks and while he hadn't cracked (at the time) stuff like RSA he'd found all kinds of clever tricks with modulo, etc. so as to do in hours or days on a 9800GX2 what theoretically should take 100s of years. While I don't know a huge amount about it myself there were people in there who could verify his proof of concepts were for real.

Just LOL if you don't realise that mrk was successful in his attempt and is now pants-round-ankles enjoying those sweet, sweet nudez he found.
Noobs.

You wouldn't find anything with recuva I'd ha e thought anyway, particularly on an encrypted drive, that's kinda the point of it.
You could for at it then deep scan it again with that software or test disk, but it'd still be useless I think

Formatting it would do precisely diddly squat to the difficulty of beating the encryption

Like I said, probably wouldn't work due to the encryption.
I've had unreadable drives before and formatted them, then still got stuff off.
Are you from the past? Phones and laptops are encrypted by default these days, Android and Windows supports the encryption of SD cards.
Public key cryptography has many potential avenues of attack that make it really incomparable to symmetric encryption systems thus doesn't support your assertion even ignoring the mathematically unbreakable OTP encryption.
Wrong. The drive header (of any good encryption implementation) contains important cryptographic information such as the cipher and its mode of operation, the password salt, and hashing algorithm. This information allows the encryption key to be easily generated given the correct password and the partition mounted and decrypted using any software that supports the same encryption methods.
If I encrypt my sd card using veracrypt I can access it on any phone or pc.

It's been mandatory on work devices where I've worked for yonks
On Android it specifically says the card won't be usable on any other phone other than the one used to encrypt it:

That's why you don't use the terrible stock android implementation. Generally the risk of losing your data is worse than the risk of it falling into the wrong hands.
Reading this thread was like watching the Monaco gp
You know nothing is going to happen.
You might get an interesting start. But that's all
But the organisers hype out up
Up still sort of follow it but know deep down its a dud.
It is a dud as expected and you wish you only had to read the tldr
