Get Your Hands on Cars, Bikes, and Even a Giant Metal Turtle at Urbandale Police Auction

Police collect a lot of things in evidence lockups throughout the year.

But the time has come to get rid of it.

The semi-annual Urbandale Police Department auction will be held April 13 at the Urbandale Public Works Complex, according to the Des Moines Register. On the auction block are 18 cars, 30 bicycles, a heat lamp, a power generator and even a huge metal turtle.

The auction also includes items dropped off at other city departments, the article said.

The auction will start at 8 a.m. Bidding starts at 9 a.m. and is expected to be completed by noon. All vehicles are sold as-is. Full payment for items purchased must be received within one hour after the conclusion of the sale.
