More About Police Auctions
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!

Here are some example bargains that have sold at police auctions:
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 - 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.
Macbook Air
Sold at a police auction, this is most likely a
recovered item of lost or stolen property.
£28.00
Dyson Vacuum
Sold at a liquidation sale, this is most likely
stock from a retailer that has gone bust.
£27.00
