(225 ILCS 465/5) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 1655)
Sec. 5.
If any person makes retail sales as a transient merchant or
itinerant vendor without having obtained a license under Section 4 of this
Act, the licensing agency may hold the inventory, truck or other
personal property of the person until he obtains a license to conduct business
as a transient merchant or itinerant vendor. If the property has been held
by the licensing agency
for more than 60 days and the person
whose property is being held has not obtained a license under Section 4
of this Act, the licensing agency, or the unit of government of which it is
a branch, office or department, may petition the circuit court
for an order for the sale of the property being held. If the court finds
that the person whose property is held has not obtained a license under
Section 4 of this Act, the court may order the licensing agency
or unit of government to sell the property. Proceeds of the sale of the
property, less reimbursement
to the licensing agency of the reasonable expenses of storage
and sale of the property, shall be deposited in the treasury
of the county, city or other unit of government of which the licensing agency
is a branch, office or department.
