Okla. Stat. tit. 47, § 47-4-105: Stolen, converted, recovered and unclaimed vehicles

A. It shall be the duty of every sheriff, chief of police or

peace officer to make immediate report to the Department of Public

Safety of all vehicles reported to their respective jurisdictions as

being stolen or recovered. Such report shall be made as prescribed

by the Department.

B. An owner or a lienholder may report the theft of a vehicle,

or its conversion if a crime, to the Department, but the Department

may disregard the report of a conversion unless a warrant has been

issued for the arrest of a person charged with the conversion. A

person who has so reported the theft or conversion of a vehicle

shall, forthwith after learning of its recovery, report the recovery

to the Department.

C. An operator of a place of business for garaging, repairing,

parking or storing vehicles for the public, in which a vehicle

remains unclaimed for a period of thirty (30) days, shall, within

five (5) days after the expiration of that period, report the

vehicle as unclaimed to the Department. Such report shall be on a

form prescribed by the Department.

A vehicle left by its owner whose name and address are known to

the operator or employee of the operator is not considered

unclaimed. A person who fails to report a vehicle as unclaimed in

accordance with this subsection forfeits all claims and liens for

its garaging, parking or storing and is guilty of a misdemeanor

punishable by a fine or not more than Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00)

for each day the failure to report continues.

D. The Department shall maintain and appropriately index

cumulative public records of stolen, converted, recovered and

unclaimed vehicles reported to it pursuant to this section. The

Department may make and distribute weekly lists of such vehicles so

reported to it to peace officers upon request without fee and to

others for the fee, if any, the Department prescribes.

E. Any peace officer who has reason to believe or upon

receiving information that a motor vehicle has been stolen shall

have and is hereby vested with authority to confiscate and hold such

vehicle until satisfactory proof of ownership is established.

Provided, any vehicle that is towed by a licensed wrecker operator

pursuant to the provisions of Section 954A of this title shall be

returned to the licensed wrecker operator prior to any other claim

or assertion of ownership.
