If any person makes retail sales as a transient merchant or itinerant vendor without having obtained a license under this subchapter and §§ 111.015 through 111.020, the Police Department may hold the inventory, truck or other personal property of the person until he or she obtains a license to conduct business as a transient merchant or itinerant vendor. If the property has been held by the Police Department for more than 60 days and the person whose property is being held has not obtained a license, the Police Department or the city may petition the Circuit Court for an order for the sale of the property being held. If the court finds that the person whose property is held has not obtained a license, the Court may order the Police Department or the city to sell the property. Proceeds of the sale of the property, less reimbursement to the Police Department of the reasonable expenses of storage and sale of the property, shall be deposited in the city treasury.
