Saint Paul Legislative Code § 163.06
in effectSec. 163.06. - Notice.
(a) When an abandoned motor vehicle does not fall within the provisions of Section 163.05, the police department shall give notice of the taking within ten (10) days. The notice shall set forth the date and place of the taking, the year, make, model and serial number of the abandoned motor vehicle and the place where the vehicle is being held. The notice shall inform the owner and any lien holders of their right to reclaim the vehicle under Section 163.07. The notice shall state that failure of the owner or lienholders to exercise their right to reclaim the vehicle shall be deemed a waiver by them of all right, title and interest in the vehicle. The waiver of rights by the owner or lienholder shall be considered a consent to the sale of the vehicle at a public auction pursuant to Section 163.08.
(b) The notice shall be sent by registered mail to the registered owner, if any, of the abandoned motor vehicle and to all readily identifiable lienholders of record. If it is impossible to determine with reasonable certainty the identity and address of the registered owner and all lienholders, the notice shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the area where the motor vehicle was abandoned. Published notices may be grouped together for convenience and economy.
