What's in my seized evidence bag?

[AB]

Anyone want to hazard a guess what I might receive?

It's out for delivery, hopefully tomorrow. I know that if there was anything particularly valuable then it's probably been removed and I'll probably end up with a pair of shoelaces and a broken Casio watch but I couldn't resist.

Fake/counterfeit/dangerous somethings or other - probably fake AirPods or Nikes.

2kg of class A, don't take it all at once.

I'm happy for the op that he has £100 to throw away.

[JoshSm]

If the reviews are to be believed their 'police' bags seem to have a suspiciously high mix of ultra cheap rubbish (likely the dregs of the warehouse returns) and knackered old electricals - probably skimmed from a WEEE skip, as that's about the only place you'll find that combination of dead Apple antiques and small kitchen appliances.

If you're really after stuff like this try an outlet further back up the chain.

[D_G]

If it's not a load of old ste, I'll be amazed. Those reviews, jeez!

[AB]

Haha! Ah well, I hadn't seen the reviews but it's still amusing to see what turns up!

[Hoofy]

Just found the reviews. OPer, I do hope you get a Patek.

In the meantime, my only thought is, "Where do they get all this crap that they put in these parcels?"

a used toaster
an iPad that belonged to a school so is restricted
a £1 pair of sunglasses
a cheap stinky dusty pair of sandals
a locked iphone 7
a kettle that was labeled as faulty
a heavily used kettle

1st gen iPad

Wow those reviews

I think you paid them £100 to get rid of their rubbish for them.

[Saleen836]

I thiought proceeds of crime that wasn't kept by the police (like cars) was sold off via specialist auctions? but I guess the site linked is no different to buying the bundle of 'unwanted christmas presents' that appear on Dec 26 on eBay that end up being worth less than a 1/4 of the purchase price

I've been to a few disposal auctions, but I'd probably not bid on stuff online unless there was literally no other way; much better to see what it is. You see some sights, especially the traders buying massive luckydip bales of clothing which has probably been soaked in essence of scumbag and is mercifully securely wrapped in plastic.

[valiant]

Aren't these type of sales similar to the unclaimed suitcases left in airports thing?

If so, all the good stuff has been taken way, way up the chain and you're basically paying for their disposal costs.

From the reviews a lot of it really doesn't sound like it comes from where they say it does.

As said earlier sounds more like a mix of WEEE scrap and warehouse scrapings.

Certainly won't be anything good as this outlet is at the end of the chain selling old-school lucky dip bags, which is a very old ripoff. I can remember that as an actual live thing on a market stall.

[Dog Biscuit]

The evidence bags will first get filtered by the people at the nick

Then all the ste left will go to a storage facility and anything missed or mildly decent will get filtered again

Then, the company that buys and retails em will do the same.

The chance of anything other than an load of old ste are pretty slim

Who said crime doesn't pay!

[Jamescrs]

The Police wouldn’t dispose of evidence in that way because genuine used evidence bags would have a lot of personal details written on them about where the item had come from including an address and/or person name amongst other identifiable details.

Sorry OP but this is fake.
