Skis, chainsaws and a Kermit lunchbox: The items up for grabs at WPS' unclaimed property auction
From lawnmowers to gun cases, over a hundred items are set to hit the virtual auction block as part of the Winnipeg Police Service’s unclaimed property auction.
The online sale runs from May 3 to May 10 featuring unclaimed goods that are lost, seized or forfeited in court. For lost goods, WPS said they attempt to return them to their rightful owners but when that can't be done, they end up in the annual auction.
All proceeds go back to the service's general fund.
