I have been going to police auctions for years now, and this was the first time I ever saw a house! Some drug kingpin had been taken down, all his assets seized, and now they were being auctioned off, so the cops could keep the money for their budget.
- I have gotten a lot of great deals at the police auction over the years, but this one took the cake.
It was a decent place, too, although the plumbing needed work and the HVAC system needed to be replaced entirely. I have an old buddy from high school who works as a tech for a local HVAC contractor, and he offered to help me as a freelance gig. I would pay him cash, and he would buy the HVAC components that were needed from a wholesale warehouse, which would save me hundreds of dollars. I am glad that I had a friend doing my HVAC work, because once Lance got into the depths of the air ducts, he found some problematic things. Inside one of the air vents he found three different guns, wrapped in plastic and bound together with zip ties, as well as a small satchel with fifty thousand dollars in it. He kept searching the rest of the air ducts, but thankful he found no additional contraband. We decided the best course of action would be to hide the money, perhaps just by sticking it back in an air duct for a year or two. We would turn the guns into the police, because they might be evidence, but if no one asks about the money in the ductwork, I think we should keep it.
