personal property is received by a hotel and left unclaimed, or left unclaimed
by a guest in a hotel, the hotelkeeper may hold and store the same, until all
just and reasonable storage and other charges are paid, and if no guest calls
for his baggage or other personal property left in a hotel for a period of
sixty (60) days or more, the hotelkeeper may sell such property at public
auction to the highest bidder, having given fifteen (15) days prior notice, by
registered mail, of the time and place of such sale to such guest at the
address given by the guest on the hotel register, and by posting notice of
such sale as provided by law upon execution. If any surplus be left after
paying storage, freight, cost of advertising, and other reasonable charges,
the same must be paid to the owner of such property, when known, at any time
thereafter, upon demand being made therefor within thirty (30) days after the
sale.
