§ 3255. Taking possession with or without filing
(a) An officer, having attached personal property by lodging a copy in the appropriate
office as provided in section 3251 of this title shall thereafter remove the property so attached or take it into his or her possession
whenever the care, safety, or preservation of the property so requires, or he or she
may accept a receipt for the same. In either case he or she shall withdraw the copy
from the office where it was lodged, except that in a mixed attachment of real and
personal property he or she shall make and cause to be recorded a certificate stating
either that the personal property attached has been taken into his or her possession
or receipted. Where the copy was originally lodged by mail, as provided in section 3251 of this title, such withdrawal or recording may also be accomplished by mail.
(b) The officer taking personal property as provided in this chapter may remove the same
and take it into his or her possession, in which case he or she need not leave a copy
of the attachment or execution in any office of record. (Amended 1971, No. 185 (Adj. Sess.), § 90, eff. March 29, 1972.)
