When an execution is delivered to any officer, the officer shall endorse on the execution the day and hour when the officer received the execution and shall proceed to execute the execution with diligence. If executed, an exact description of the property sold with the date of the levy, sale, or other act done by virtue of the execution, including all costs incurred, must be endorsed upon or appended to the execution. If the writ was not executed, the execution must be returned wholly unsatisfied with all costs incurred endorsed upon or appended to the execution. If the writ was executed in part only, the reason along with all costs in the case must be stated in the return.
