§ 3866. Issuance of pawn ticket; lost tickets
At the time of making a loan, a pawnbroker shall deliver to the person pawning or
pledging any goods, articles, or things a memorandum or note signed by him or her
containing the substance of the entry required to be made in his or her book by section 3865 of this title, and a charge shall not be made or received by the pawnbroker for such entry, memorandum,
or note. The holder of such memorandum or note shall be presumed to be the person
entitled to redeem the pledge, and the pawnbroker shall deliver such article to the
person so presenting such memorandum or note on payment of principal and interest.
Should such ticket be lost or mislaid, the pawnor shall at once apply to the pawnbroker
describing the article pawned, in which case it shall be the duty of the pawnbroker
to permit such person to examine his or her books, and, on finding the entry for such
ticket, note, or memorandum so lost, the pawnbroker shall issue a second or stop ticket
for the same. In case such pawnor neglects so to apply and examine such books and
receive such memorandum or note in the manner provided in this section, the pawnbroker
shall deliver the pledge to any person producing such original ticket for the redemption
thereof. This section shall not be so construed as to limit or affect such pawnbroker’s
common law liability in cases where goods are stolen or other legal defects of title
in the pledgor exist. (Amended 2021, No. 20, § 33.)
