Unclaimed money in the possession of the police department will be deposited in to the Town of Brookline's general fund. Private holders of found property assume ownership of unclaimed property or money one year after finding the property if they make a timely report to the police. In addition to the listed items, the police department has in its possession numerous items of no commercial value (such as eyeglasses and keys) that it holds as a courtesy for return to their owners. If unclaimed, such property is disposed of without auction or further notice. Notice pursuant to M.G.L. Ch. 135, s. 8. POLICE AUCTION Brookline Police Department The police department will sell unclaimed bicycles starting June 3, 2006 by means of an auction conducted online at the website www.propertyroom.com. See website for rules. The police department will be selling unclaimed property by means of web auction because the expense of conducting a traditional auction is high and the prices paid for property are lower than is anticipated from a web auction. If anyone should believe that an item up for auction belongs to them, please contact Det. Amy Hingston custodian of property, at 617-730-2252. The police department will sell at auction unclaimed property including bicycles, telephones, stereos, cameras, watches, jewelry, clothing, and personal articles.
