When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

was recovered
So it would be " ... ; an armored object was recovered." (Although I don't know if "armored" is the right word in this context.)

"remove" or "retrieve" may be more appropriate translations of the verb ''recuperar" in this context; in this case, I believe that "was removed" or "was retrieved" is the appropriate way to phrase the translation.

Still, now that I check online, I think "recovered" is just as good and may be the standard usage in this context. See these examples from autopsy reports:
"A third gunshot wound found on Kifer's body was on the right side of the neck, ... the rib region next to the spinal column, where a bullet was recovered. ..."
"A man shot himself in the right temple and the bullet was recovered from the brain"
"The bullet was recovered in two pieces from the spine and from the back."
"A bullet was recovered from his body, while police found four .44-caliber shell casings at the crime scene ..."
" The autopsy report said a small-caliber deformed lead bullet was recovered from Sadek's skull."
etc. Lots of examples of the use of the word "recovered" in these reports.
