Execution and return with inventory

(a) RECEIPT. The law enforcement officer taking property under the search warrant shall give to the person from whom or from whose premises the property was taken or shall leave at the place from which the property was taken a copy of the search warrant endorsed with a copy of an inventory of the property taken. (b) RETURN AND INVENTORY. The return shall be made promptly and shall be accompanied by a written inventory of any property taken. The inventory shall be made in the presence of the person from whose possession or premises the property was taken, if that person is present, and shall be verified by the law enforcement officer executing the search warrant. The judge or magistrate shall, upon request, deliver a copy of the inventory to the person from whom or from whose premises the property was taken. The executing law enforcement officer may discharge his obligation to give receipt of property by leaving a copy of the inventory at the place from which the property is taken if no one is present.
