A DVD being offered in a police auction? Sheesh........ What did they do, strip someone's HOUSE of everything?

Here's a list of the ebay auctions this person has online right now claiming they are a "police auction" and ALL of these items were "seized and forfeited or unclaimed". All 81 items are either DVD movies or games.

looks more like contorfit stuff :nonod::nonod::nonod:

Well, if it is legit then one possible reason is this.... They stop a suspected shoplifters car, they can prove some of the merchandise is stolen so they seize it all until they can find the victims. The victims don't come forward b/c they either don't know it's been stolen or they don't think there is any chance to recover it so they say they "won't bother the police". After whatever time period they set within the department (ie 6 months, 1 year, 2 years) they decide to clear out space in their property lock up and auction stuff out.

Here we have the departments sell off stuff like bikes, stereos stolen out of cars, tools stolen off of work trucks,,, and so on. The items are never claimed so why should the police hold them indefinetly? This may be a false auction, but it may also be legit. Google the name of the department and see what happens....

Could be items purchased with the "fruits of the crime" I suppose. Last year we assisted the Fed's with seizures in a two county sweep and picked up 4 or 5 cars from a drug dealer that were allegedly purchased with ill gotten assets. I have my doubts as to the validity of this being a legitimate auction though, never heard of a Law enforcment agency using Ebay......
