Upon receiving notice that a petition has been filed by a purchaser for the amount of purchase, the purchaser shall hold the purchased property until the right to possession is resolved by the parties or by a court of competent jurisdiction, unless such property is subject to a hold order for law enforcement purposes and a law enforcement officer has provided written acknowledgment that the property has been released to the officer.

Upon being served notice that a petition has been filed pursuant to this section, the pawnbroker may return the amount of purchase to the purchaser prior to a decision being rendered on the purchaser's petition by the court.

The provisions of this section to the contrary notwithstanding, the pawnbroker shall not be required to pay any costs incurred by the purchaser and the purchaser shall not be required to pay any costs incurred by the pawnbroker when the amount of purchase is returned to the purchaser pursuant to this subsection.

If after notice to the pawnbroker and an opportunity to add the conveying customer as a defendant, the purchased property is found by a court to have been misappropriated and purchased by the purchaser in good faith, then:

(1) The prevailing purchaser 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 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.
