The Chief of Police is authorized to remove and impound or cause to be removed and impounded any cart found abandoned or discarded or left in any of the prohibited areas described herein and to deliver it to any borough-owned or -leased storage facilities available for such purpose. Within five days after the removal of the cart to the storage facilities, the Chief of Police shall, by ordinary mail, notify the owner thereof at the address indicated on the identification tag or plate that the impounded cart may be redeemed for the sum of $1 within seven days from the date of said notice for redemption. Where any such property remains unclaimed or unredeemed for a period of five days beyond the date fixed for redemption, or where a cart impounded has no identification tag or plate and is not claimed or redeemed within said five-day period after impounding, the Chief of Police shall give at least five days' public notice in a newspaper circulating in the Borough of Lawnside, fixing a place, date, time and the terms for a public sale to the highest bidder of such property. The Chief of Police shall conduct such sale within a reasonable period of time after impoundment. Where any such property shall remain unsold at public sale, the Chief of Police may dismantle, destroy or otherwise sell or dispose of such property. Any public sale or other disposition of property pursuant to this chapter shall be without liability to the borough, to the owner of such property or to any other person lawfully entitled thereto or having an interest therein.
