20be turned over to any claimant of lien or ownership unless the claimant first
21establishes that the property was not used in connection with any violation under
22this subchapter or s. 73.17 or 73.18 or that, if so used, it was done without the
23claimant's knowledge or consent and without the claimant's knowledge of facts that
24should have given the claimant reason to believe it would be put to such use. If no
