If the owner of the means of conveyance has not been guilty of any contempt of court in a proceeding brought under this article, and appears and pays all costs, fees, and allowances that are a lien on the means of conveyance and files a bond in the full value of the means of conveyance, to be ascertained by the court, conditioned that the owner will immediately abate the nuisance and prevent it from being established or resumed within a period of one year thereafter, the court or judge may, if satisfied of the owner’s good faith, order the means of conveyance to be delivered to the owner, and the order of abatement canceled so far as it may relate thereto. The release of such means of conveyance under the provisions of this section does not release it from any judgment, lien, penalty, or liability to which it may be subject.
