Police auctions   
Does anybody know where police auctions are held (if they are held at all).

You know the sort of thing, where they sell of stuff that they've 
confiscated, or the lost and found items.

Or have I been watching to much Hollywood?

Smells of Chlorine?  It is a legit police site.  No reason a police station 
would have a merchant credit card account and police know better than to 
take a cheque ;-)

station advertised.

Ring up your local station and they'll put you in touch with the person 
responsible for disposing of seized goods.
