dealership, and actually received by the department of revenue on or before
the fifteenth day of the month succeeding the month for which the sales are
being reported. If no sales occur in any given month, a report shall be

whose name and address are known to the dealer or his employee or person
operating a public garage or his employee is not considered unclaimed. Any
dealer or person operating a public garage who fails to report a motor
vehicle as unclaimed as herein required forfeits all claims and liens for
its garaging, parking or storing.
