basically with respect to the jewellery the police give you extremely limited information, maybe you´ll get the size and the hallmark but no weight, and the way the auction is set up, any bids placed within 10 minutes of the auction end will extend the auction by ten minutes, giving people the opportunity to raise their bids. Now what raises my eyebrows with this is that there is nothing to stop the people (police) to have themselves a set of scales with them to weigh and estimate the value of the items. Sorry but that just stinks of a little money earner for the old bill to me. Would you really put it passed them after hearing what they get up to ?
