per day

within thirty (30) days or the towing company may obtain a certificate of ownership or title to the abandoned property or sell

the property on a bill of sale to a scrap metal operator or licensed salvage dealer for destruction.

Section 304.156, RSMo, states the amount of the accrued towing, storage and administrative costs are the responsibility of the

owner, storage and administrative costs will continue to accrue as a legal liability of the owner until abandoned property is

redeemed. The towing company claims a possessory lien for all such charges.

You as the owner or the lienholder may retake possession of the abandoned property at any time during business hours by

proving ownership or rights to a secured interest and paying all towing and storage charges.

If you as the owner consider the towing or removal was improper or not legally justified, you have the right to request a hearing

to contest the propriety of such towing or removal. To contest the towing or removal you must within ten days of receipt of this

notice file a petition in the associate court in the county where the abandoned property is stored to determine if the abandoned

property was wrongfully taken or withheld. The petition must have the towing company and agency or current lessee

authorizing the tow as defendants. The Director of Revenue is not a defendant but must be served with a copy of such petition.

Any charges in excess of the value of the abandoned property at the time of such transfer shall remain a liability of the owner.

Send payment to the towing company at the address shown above or call the telephone number listed.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that the above information and any attached supplement is true, complete, and correct.
