(770 ILCS 70/15) (from Ch. 82, par. 515)
Sec. 15.
Removal prohibited; injunction; lien follows property
wrongfully removed. When any lien provided for by this Act shall have
attached to the property covered thereby, it shall be unlawful for any
person to remove such property, or any part thereof, or cause the same to
be removed from the land or premises where located at the time such lien
attached or otherwise dispose of the same without the written consent of
the holder of such lien. In the event such property, or some part thereof,
is about to be removed or disposed of in violation of this Section, the
circuit court of the county where such property, or any part thereof, is
located may upon the verified complaint of the holder of such lien enjoin
all persons alleged in such complaint to be about to remove or dispose of
such property, or some part thereof, from removing or disposing of the
same. In the event such property, or any part thereof, shall have been
removed or disposed of in violation of this Section, the holder of such
lien shall be entitled in any action to foreclose the same to the
appointment of a receiver to take possession of such removed or disposed of
property wherever the same may be located within this State; provided,
however, that this Section shall not preclude the appointment of receiver
in actions brought to foreclose liens given by this Chapter upon any
equitable grounds warranting such appointment or as provided for by Section
16. This Section shall not apply to any lien claims which have been
discharged by the filing of a bond as provided by Section 11.
