[To obtain possession of tangible personal property held by a pawnbroker which a claimant claims to be misappropriated, the claimant may file a petition in a court of competent jurisdiction in the county where the theft occurred or where the pawnbroker's pawnshop is located, requesting the return of the property, naming the pawnbroker as a defendant and serving the pawnbroker with the petition. The provisions of section 482.305, RSMo, to the contrary notwithstanding, a court of competent jurisdiction shall include a small claims court, even if the value of the property named in the petition is greater than three thousand dollars. Upon receiving notice that a petition has been filed by a claimant for the return of property in the pawnbroker's possession, the pawnbroker shall hold the property identified in the claimant's petition until the right to possession is resolved by the parties or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

4. Upon being served notice that a petition has been filed pursuant to this section, the pawnbroker may, after determining the validity of the claimant's claim, return the property to the claimant prior to a decision being rendered on the claimant's petition by the court. The pawnbroker shall return the property to the claimant free of any principal, interest and service charges, conditioned only upon the claimant withdrawing the petition filed with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking the disposition of said property. Property voluntarily returned by a pawnbroker to a claimant subject to this subsection shall be returned:

(1) Immediately when the property is not subject to a pawn transaction contract; and

(2) When the property is subject to a pawn transaction contract, the pawnbroker shall deliver the property to the claimant immediately upon the termination of the pawn transaction contract, except that if the pledgor of the property subject to a claimant's claim attempts to redeem the property as provided for by the pawn transaction contract, the pawnbroker may collect any principal, interest or service charges due and shall hold the property until the right to possession is resolved by the parties or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The provisions of this section to the contrary notwithstanding, the pawnbroker shall not be required to pay any costs incurred by the claimant and the claimant shall not be required to pay any costs incurred by the pawnbroker when the property subject to the claimant's petition is returned to the claimant pursuant to this subsection.

5. When a claimant files a petition pursuant to this section, the pawnbroker may bring the conveying customer of the alleged misappropriated property into that action as a third-party defendant. When a claimant files a petition pursuant to this section, the pawnbroker shall bring the conveying customer of the alleged misappropriated property into that action as a third-party defendant if the pawnbroker has collected any principal, interest or service charges pursuant to subdivision (2) of subsection 4 of this section. If after notice to the pawnbroker and an opportunity to add the conveying customer as a defendant, the property in the possession of the pawnbroker is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be the claimant's property and the property is awarded to the claimant by the court, then:

(1) The prevailing claimant may recover from the pawnbroker the cost of the action, including attorney's fees;

(2) The conveying customer shall be liable to repay the pawnbroker the full amount received from the pawnbroker from the pawn or sales transaction, including all applicable fees and interest charged and the costs incurred by the pawnbroker in pursuing the procedure described in this section, including attorney's fees.] If any seller or pledgor fails to provide a pawnbroker with proof of ownership of the property sold or pledged to the pawnbroker, the pawnbroker shall hold such property for a period of six months prior to selling or otherwise transferring such property, provided, a pledgor may redeem the pledged property at any time upon performance of the contract with the pawnbroker.

4. Any claimant whose property was misappropriated and subsequently pledged or sold to a pawnbroker may, personally or by designee, demand return of the misappropriated property upon proof of ownership.

(1) If the property demanded by a claimant or claimant's designee was sold or pledged to a pawnbroker by a conveying customer without proof of ownership, and the demand by claimant or claimant's designee occurs within six months of the sale or pledge, the pawnbroker shall return the property to claimant or claimant's designee.

(2) If the property demanded by a claimant or claimant's designee was sold or pledged to a pawnbroker by a conveying customer with proof of ownership, or by a conveying customer without proof of ownership and the demand by claimant or claimant's designee occurs six months or more after the sale or pledge, the pawnbroker may return the property to claimant or claimant's designee.

5. If a pawnbroker refuses to deliver property to a claimant or designee upon proof of ownership, or if a pawnbroker relinquishes possession but still claims an ownership interest in the property, either the claimant or the pawnbroker may file a petition in a court of competent jurisdiction requesting return of the property, provided, the non-prevailing party shall be responsible for costs of the action and the reasonable attorney's fees of the prevailing party.

6. The filing of a petition pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be in the county where the theft occurred or where the pawnbroker's pawnshop is located. The provisions of section 482.305, RSMo, to the contrary notwithstanding, a court of competent jurisdiction shall include a small claims court, even if the value of the property named in the petition is greater than three thousand dollars. Upon receiving notice that a petition has been filed, the party with possession of the property shall hold the property identified in the petition until the right to possession is resolved by the parties or the court.

7. Nothing contained in this section shall limit a pawnbroker from bringing the conveying customer into a suit as a third-party, nor limit a pawnbroker from recovering from a conveying customer repayment of the full amount received from the pawnbroker from the pawn or sales transaction, including all applicable fees and interest charged, attorney's fees and the cost of the action.".
