California Court of Appeal

In an action involving the release of property held by pawnbrokers, trial court's order is reversed where pawnbrokers have a right to procedural due process before a court can order that stolen property in their possession and subject to a 90-day hold under Business and Professions Code section 21647 be returned to the purported owners of the property.
