Never once have we seen ANYTHING listed from the Salisbury Police Department. So, where does it all go?
I'm not suggesting anything outside of where. It just seems odd that they don't use traditional outlets and from this point forward I believe the public should be made aware of exactly what items are in fact surplus publicly and not hidden on some City Website. These are taxpayer items. Heck, who knows, the public just might find some of the items they've had stolen from their homes.
They need to go back decades
ReplyDeleteThis was the same issue they had back under colbourne. Ask Jamie, She may know about this to.
ReplyDeleteUnder Coulbourne Dykes they had public auctions at the city yard on lake st,
ReplyDeleteWhere great deals were made
DeleteWelcome to Hog County!
ReplyDeleteI was walking at the Civic Center parking lot over summer, no events going on, no one around. I found a bike in the bushes near the dog park. It was like brand new, but was used. I called the city police on my cell phone. Officer showed up. Checked the serial number on the bike. Was not reported stolen. He just said ok, thanks for calling and went back to his car. I stopped him, asked if he wanted the bike in his trunk to take back to the station. He said no, it's probably stolen, but he wasn't dealing with it. Told me "You can do whatever you want with it". And he left.
ReplyDeleteIt was an valuable bike and yes I kept it. But As the city cop said "Finder keepers".
Liz gets dibs on any lost medicine.
DeleteI will bet The majority of SPD surplus is sold in-house at incredibly low prices and the public is never given the ability to purchase anything. It all goes to cronies of the city I am willing to bet for pennies on the dollar of true value. Way back you could buy found bikes at auction, not in decades has it been done.
ReplyDeleteLEO get first dibs on everything.

But you knew it wasn't yours. Basically, you stole a possible stolen bike or someone just left it there to retrieve it later. We may never know. But you're dinging a cop because he 'didn't deal' with an unstolen bike? I think you were just covering your tracks while you 'stole' it.
You would not believe how much is destroyed then sent to the landfill.

Was it one of Jake Day's orange bikes?

ReplyDeleteHey genius, what more would you have done. He called the police, they didn't want it. Should he have just left it there? Go back in your Mom's basement to your video games.
No 6:35, the hoodlums threw all of them into the river!
ReplyDeleteI do know they have always given the stolen bikes they round up and not claimed to the needy children but that is all we have ever seen. Good question hope we get answers on the rest.

Well, I am smarter than you obviously. Why would the police want it? And yes, he should have left someone else's property right there. It wasn't his now, was it? You people...

ReplyDeleteYeah, yeah, we all know people, with no post secondary education, that claim to be smarter that everyone else. Your grammar is atrocious. Finder's keepers is actually embedded in law. But the find has to be reported, and the owner has to have the opportunity to claim the item within a specific time period. After that, it belongs to the finder. That even includes found money. As usual when people like you that claim to be smarter than someone else, you expose your ignorance.
