There is a place in london somewhere, in tooting, or somewhere like that I think, where they sell off all sorts of repossesed stuff and bags of luggage that people left at airports. They have a site with the list of the stuff they have, but I can't remember it.

A friend of mine has his bike stolen, and eventually it showed up when the cops arrested someone for stealing a whole bunch of stuff. Unfortunately for my friend, the local cops know him (from protests) and really don't like him, so they screwed him over and refused to give him the bike back. He ended up having to buy it back off them at a police auction. Bastards.
