Opinion

McINTYRE, J.

In this case, we conclude that pawnbrokers have a right to procedural due process before a court can order that stolen property in their possession and subject to a 90-day hold under Business and Professions Code section 21647, be returned to the purported owners of the property. (All statutory references are to the Business and Professions Code unless otherwise designated.) We also reject the People’s argument that the pawnbrokers, as nonparties to the action, lacked standing to appeal and that the order to turn over the property was not appealable.
