No vehicle may be sold pursuant to this division if the chief of police determines that the vehicle was stolen. In this event, the vehicle may be claimed by the registered owner or lienholder of record at any time after impoundment, provided the vehicle registration is current and the registered owner has no outstanding traffic violations or parking penalties on his or her driving record or on the registration record of any vehicle registered to the person. If the identity of the legal and registered owners or lienholder of record of the vehicle cannot be reasonably ascertained, the vehicle may be sold. (Ord. 31540)
