When property is seized, you typically have the right to file a claim to recover it. Since you received the notice, you’ll need to follow the instructions carefully. Here’s what to do:
- Contact the Thurston County Narcotics Task Force within the *-day deadline.
- File a formal claim of ownership or right to possession for your car and any other seized property.
- Include documentation proving ownership (e.g., title, registration).
- Consider consulting a lawyer, especially since your home was searched.
