(a) The custodian of lost and stolen property, under the direction of the chief of police, shall act as custodian of all property seized or taken, which shall be delivered at once to the custodian unless it is wanted for immediate use as evidence in any case, and, in that event, a report and inventory of the same shall be forwarded at once to the custodian.
(b) Nothing contained in this article, however, shall be held to require the custodian to take possession of, or to make disposition of, any lost or stolen property, the disposition or possession of which is otherwise provided for by this code.
