  2. Article 71. Recovery of Chattel

§ 7104. Seizing, reclaiming or returning less than all chattels. Where

the seizure of two or more chattels is required by the order of seizure,

the sheriff shall seize those chattels which can be found. Less than all

of the seized chattels may be impounded, reclaimed or returned. The

value of the chattels seized, as stated in the affidavit of the

plaintiff, or as determined by the court upon application of the

defendant, shall be the value for the purposes of subsequent

undertakings in the action. Unless the court orders otherwise, the

sheriff may, at any time before entry of judgment, seize those chattels

not yet seized; the proceedings for reclaiming, impounding or returning

a chattel subsequently seized are the same as on a former seizure.
