I used to love visiting my local city’s police auction. Never bought anything, mainly because I was broke as heck at the time, but I loved to browse. Such a weird and varied assortment of stuff. My favorite was a giant growing terrarium, confiscated from a weed grower of course, with a large sign on it that said “for legal plants only”. I’m guessing the police showed up a few weeks after whoever bought that, just to check on it.
Sadly they disappeared with the growth of the internet and they are shipped off to some central clearinghouse downstate now.
