HANSEN, Chief Judge,
specially concurring.
I concur in the court’s reinstatement of the prior panel opinion, which affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded the case to the district court, except I do not concur in those portions of Part IV A and Part IV B of the prior panel opinion which hold that the initial execution of the writ of *502replevin by the deputy sheriff on Friday afternoon by closing the store and changing its locks constituted an unreasonable seizure of Audio-Odyssey’s leasehold interest in violation of the Fourth Amendment. In my view, the initial seizure was constitutionally reasonable, and the sheriffs department’s seizure of the premises only became unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment when the inventorying deputy turned the newly minted keys to the store over to the Bank on the following Wednesday afternoon after he had inventoried the personal property for the purposes of the writ. To the extent the court’s opinion can be read otherwise, I do not concur in it. In order to make my position more clear, I join the dissent’s factual recitation, chronology, and the analysis Judge Loken makes in Part A of that dissent; however, I do not join the balance of the dissent.
