Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Hi,

I run a small computer repair/retail shop and I have a customer who had checked in their computer for malware repair on 9/8/2010. The customer was notified on 9/11/2010 and confirmed that they received my message. I have since emailed them as a reminder to pick up their computer (10/28/2010 which they responded to and stated they would pick up their computer 10/19/2010 but did not) and called them (11/6/2010) but have not received any communication from them since this time.

Is there a law that I can reference to encourage them to pick up their computer? Is there something out there that states that equipment is declared as abandoned after a certain time frame? There is another computer guy out here that I have asked about this which he seems to think there is however not really sure how reliable of a source that he is. I am in New York if anyone knows anything about this. Thanks!

You should probably have a note on your claim checks that storage charges of $$ per month accrue after 30 days of notification of completion of repairs.
