The council must not deal with the thing in a way that could prejudice the outcome of an appeal against the decision to forfeit the thing under this division. If the council sells the thing, the council must, after deducting the costs of the sale, make reasonable efforts to return the proceeds of the sale to the person who owned the thing immediately before the thing became the property of the State.
