The only police auctions i've seen around here are their annual bike auction in spring....basically they auction off the nice looking bikes, and the old style ones you usually see bums riding on pile up the floor, and they sell those last, usually in groups....one year a guy got a truckload for 5 bucks...and i'm talking the bikes were heaped about 3 feet OVER the cab. A bike I wanted had got lumped in with the group (it was a mongoose) so I waited around for 3 hours for the guy to show up, so I could throw him 5 bucks lol...they also usually have a table of random crap, stereos, computer stuff, etc, and maybe a car or two, but thats about it. I havn't gone since I was 15 or 16, I miss it every year because they don't announce it much, and I never look it up.
