You can find a lot of lost and recovered goods for sale at Police auctions. This is because when
goods are handed in to the police, it is usually possible for the finder to have the goods back if
they are not claimed within a certain period of time. However, if the Police find goods, then they
can be sold at the discretion of the Chief Constable. Often, the goods end up being auctioned.
Finding Police Auctions
Police and Government Auction Sources UK contains web links, locations and telephone numbers
of a range of auction houses that dispose of items on behalf of the police forces. Some even
specialise in certain types of goods. For example, one of the companies listed holds two auctions
a month for well maintained used police vehicles!

Popular Items
We find that a lot of bikes appear at Police auctions especially during the months of fine weather when more people commute to train stations or their place of work. Clothing also features highly at one of the key auction houses that we list - we believe this is generally recovered from serial or one-off shoplifters and because of the quantities involved it makes more sense from a monetary point of view to dispose of the items at auction rather than re-unite it with the shops where it came from.
