§ 6-5-90. Replacement of lost ticket.

If a pawn ticket is lost, destroyed or stolen, the pledgor or holder thereof shall so notify the issuing pawnbroker in writing immediately upon discovery of such loss. Before permitting the redemption of the pledge or issuing a duplicate ticket, the pawnbroker may, in addition to satisfying himself or herself of the validity of the claim, require the pledgor to make an affidavit of the alleged loss in writing, witnessed by two (2) reputable residents of the community in the presence of a notary public. Upon receipt of such affidavit in writing, the pawnbroker shall permit the holder of the pawn ticket to redeem the pledge or shall deliver to the pledgor or holder a duplicate ticket, and the pawnbroker shall incur no liability for so doing unless the pawnbroker has previously received written notice of an adverse claim.
