A. In the event a pawn ticket has been lost, destroyed, or stolen a pawnbroker shall either deliver the pledged things to the pledgor or issue the pledgor a new pawn ticket. But before doing either, the pawnbroker shall require the pledgor to make a written statement attesting to the loss, destruction, or theft of the ticket. The statement shall be signed by the pledgor and the pawnbroker or the pawnbroker's employee who accepts the statement from the pledgor. The statement shall contain the same information as the pawn ticket, the date the statement is given, and the number of the pawn ticket which was lost, destroyed, or stolen. When the pawnbroker has delivered the pledged things to the pledgor or issued the pledgor a new pawn ticket pursuant to this Section, then all prior tickets shall be null and the presumption of R.S. 37:1794 shall be inapplicable.
B. The pawnbroker may charge a fee not to exceed three dollars and fifty cents in connection with each lost, destroyed, or stolen pawn ticket and the taking of a written statement from the pledgor.
