### sec.558 Receipt for seized things
After an investigator seizes a thing, the investigator must give a receipt for it to the person from whom it was seized.
However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1) , the investigator must leave the receipt at the place of seizure in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way.
The receipt must describe generally the thing seized and its condition.
This section does not apply to a thing if it is impracticable or would be unreasonable to give the receipt having regard to the thing’s nature, condition and value.
