2A:44-29. If no proceedings are taken for the repossession of the motor vehicle or part thereof by the motor vehicle owner or person entitled to possession of the motor vehicle, such property so held by the garage keeper shall, after the expiration of not less than 30 days from the date of the detention, be sold at public auction, subject to any prior lien, title or interest held by virtue of a prior conditional sale or a prior chattel mortgage properly recorded.
