§ 31-11-104 — Sale of seized vehicles; disposition of proceeds; proof of ownership after sale

All vehicles seized under W.S. 31-11-111 remaining unclaimed
after ninety (90) days from the date of seizure, shall be sold
by the department or its authorized representative, at public
auction, to the highest bidder. Notice of sale shall be
published not less than ten (10) days preceding the date of the
sale, in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where
the vehicle is to be sold, giving a full description of the
vehicle together with engine or serial numbers or marks, if any.
All expenses incident to the sale and storage of the vehicle
shall be first paid from the receipts from the sale, and any
residue shall be paid by the department to the state treasurer
for credit to the general fund. Should any claimant prove
ownership of a vehicle sold by the department under this act
within six (6) months after the date of sale, the state auditor
shall upon proper proof of ownership approved by the department,
draw a warrant upon the state treasurer in favor of the claimant
for the amount which was paid into the state treasury.
