693. The corporation may cause to be sold at auction, by a bailiff, without any judicial proceedings and after the notices required for the sale of movables under writ of execution, the objects, movable effects or other movable property in its possession which are unclaimed within two months and which have been abandoned or are the proceeds of theft or have been seized or confiscated by its police officers.

It may likewise dispose of the motor vehicles manufactured more than seven years previously, left in its hands, abandoned or found and unclaimed after a delay of 60 days; the delay is 10 days in the case of a vehicle without a motor or fit only for scrap.

If such property is claimed after the sale, the corporation is liable only for the proceeds of the sale, after deducting the cost of the sale and other expenses which it may have incurred.

If they cannot be sold because they have no merchantable value or by reason of the illegality of their possession or use, they may be destroyed after publication of similar notices, mutatis mutandis, and if they are claimed after destruction, the corporation is not liable for the payment of any indemnity or compensation.
