Sec. 16. The owner of the personal property that has been restrained or is to be restrained under this chapter may appear after the filing of the complaint and before the hearing on the application for a permanent injunction and petition the court to release the personal property. If the court is satisfied that the owner:

(1) has acted in good faith; and

(2) did not know and, with reasonable care and diligence, could not have known that the personal property was used as an indecent nuisance;

the court shall, at the time of the hearing on the application for the preliminary injunction, refrain from issuing any order restraining the removal or interference with the personal property. If the preliminary injunction has been issued, the court shall discharge the order and deliver the property to the owner.
