§ 7602 Bailee Goods Lien Protection

• •If someone stores your stuff and gives you a special paper (like a receipt) that you can trade or sell, that paper is important.
• •If someone sues you and tries to take your stuff, they can’t just grab it from the person storing it—they need that special paper first.
• •The person storing your stuff doesn’t have to hand it over until they get that paper or a court tells them to.
• •If someone buys that special paper without knowing about the lawsuit, they get to keep the stuff, and the lawsuit can’t take it from them.

You store your bike at a bike shop, and they give you a special receipt that says you own it. Someone sues you and tries to take your bike.

The bike shop won’t give your bike to the person suing you unless they have that special receipt or a court order. If someone else buys the receipt from you without knowing about the lawsuit, they get to keep the bike.
