Colorado Abandoned property

What can a landlord do with property a tenant leaves behind in Colorado?

Property held under a statutory lien, including a landlord's lien on a tenant's personal property, is presumed abandoned when the owner has not contacted the lienholder for at least 30 days. At least 15 days before selling or disposing of it, the lienholder must mail notice to the owner's last known address by registered or certified mail.
