Whenever the City shall remove any cart bearing identification of ownership, the Department of Service shall mail a notice to the owner at the location shown on such cart. Such notice shall advise that such cart or carts may be redeemed upon payment of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each cart so redeemed and shall set forth the place for redemption of such cart or carts and where possession of the same may be procured. Payment for redemption shall be made to the Department of Finance and a receipt shall be given therefor, which receipt shall entitle such owner to redeem at the place of storage thereon one or more carts, as provided for in the receipt upon surrender of same at the place of storage of such cart or carts. No cart shall be delivered to a person seeking to redeem the same unless proof is submitted, establishing the same to the satisfaction of the City such person’s ownership or right to possession. Any delivery to a person deemed entitled thereto by this City from the proof submitted, shall be an absolute defense of the City against any other person claiming to be entitled thereto.
