(735 ILCS 5/19-116) (from Ch. 110, par. 19-116)
Sec. 19-116.
Service of order.
Upon the bond being given the sheriff or other proper
officer shall forthwith serve the certified copy of the order by seizing
the property therein mentioned and by serving such
order upon the defendant as summons is served in other civil
cases.
The order for replevin issued as provided in Section 19-108
of this Act, may be served as a summons upon defendants wherever they
may be found in the State by any person authorized to serve summons in other
civil cases; but property may be taken
from the possession of a defendant under a replevin order only in the
county in which the order is entered and by a proper officer of the
county.
The officer serving such certified order having taken the property or any part
thereof shall forthwith deliver such property to the plaintiff unless
the defendant executes a bond and security approved by such officer,
before such property is actually delivered to the plaintiff. Such bond
shall be given in an amount double the value of such property and
conditioned that the defendant will appear in and defend the action, and
will deliver such property in accordance with the order of the court, in
as good condition as it was when the action was commenced, and that the
defendant will pay only those costs and damages that may be incurred
during the time the property is out of the possession of the officer and back
in his or her possession and adjudged against the defendant in such action.
Such bond shall be returned to the court by the officer serving the
order on the day such order is returnable.
