A. If a warehouse receipt is lost or destroyed and a duplicate receipt is desired, a duplicate shall be issued in the same manner as the original receipt upon affidavit of the owner of the original receipt that the receipt has been lost or destroyed. When the owner has furnished the warehouseman an acceptable bond in an amount equal to the value of the commodities represented by the lost or destroyed receipt at the time the bond is given, the bond shall indemnify the warehouseman against loss or damage by reason of the issuance of the duplicate receipt.

When the owner has furnished the warehouseman an acceptable bond in an amount equal to the value of the commodities represented by the lost or destroyed receipt at the time the bond is given, the bond shall indemnify the warehouseman against loss or damage sustained by reason of making the settlement of delivering the described commodities.
C. Bonds executed in accordance with this section shall be treated as canceled original warehouse receipts.
