The court, at any time during the pendency of the action, upon the petition of the plaintiff setting forth
   (1)  that the plaintiff is without knowledge of the location of the property and has not been able with reasonable diligence to ascertain its location; or
   (2)  that the sheriff has been unable to locate the property; or
   (3)  that the defendant has concealed, removed or transferred the property, may order the defendant to appear and be examined orally under oath as to the whereabouts of the property. The court may enforce its order by attachment. If a writ of seizure has been issued, the court may order the defendant to deliver the property to the sheriff if it is within the county or has been removed from the county for the purpose of preventing its recovery.
