Cops to sell ‘stolen goods’
(CNS): The police will be selling a treasure trove of stolen goods at the end of this month, but they’ll be doing it legally. According to the law the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) is allowed to hold an auction up to twice each year to dispose of uncollected found property and recovered items no longer needed as evidence. The auction will take place on Saturday, 29 August, at 9am, at the vehicle Licensing Department on Elgin Avenue, George Town. Items being auctioned range from jewellery and cameras to construction material and bicycles.
A full list of the items to be auctioned can be viewed on the government website, www.gov.ky under ‘gazettes’ or by following the link below and selecting ‘notice of police auction.’ Or following this weblink:

It is one year since the last auction and, according to the list, the police have accumulated a considerable amount of property. There are almost 100 bicycles alone as well as electrical goods, CDs and clothes. Among the less glamorous items being auctioned, bargain hunters will find kitchen cabinet knobs, candles and rolls of Teflon tape.
Proceeds from the auction will go to the police welfare fund.

I do hope that the Police will have the decency to call people whose stolen goods they have recovered once they are finished with them as evidence and let them know that they are avilable for pick up before auctioning them off for profit.
I just tried to make sense of what will be auctioned by following th etwo web links in the story and I have no idea if my things are being sold of not. When I tried to recover my tools I was told they were needed for evidence and I could not get them back until the case went to court.
I have recieved no call about my stolen tools now apparently they may be sold for profit … is this not stealing from me by the Police now?
