if the property has been removed from the place in which it was found — indicate where, when and from whom it was taken; and

summarise the effect of the notice; and

advise the recipient to the effect that the property described in the order may be confiscated automatically under this Act unless an objection to the confiscation of the property is filed in the court specified in the notice within 28 days after the date of service of the notice; and

tell the recipient that he or she may be eligible to file an objection to the confiscation of the property; and

give details of the recipient’s obligations under section 37; and
