2207 Seizure and sale order—removal etc of seized property
(1) If an enforcement officer seizes personal property, the enforcement
officer must consider how best to secure and preserve the property.
(2) The enforcement officer may—
(a) remove the property from the premises or place where the
property was seized; or
(b) leave the property where it is but restrict access to it or otherwise
mark the property as having been seized.
(3) If the enforcement officer leaves the property where it is, the
enforcement officer must tell the enforcement debtor or anyone else
who has custody of the property, in writing, that the property has been
seized under a seizure and sale order and that the person is responsible
for its safekeeping.
(4) The enforcement creditor is liable to pay any storage expenses but
may recover them as costs of enforcement.
