Is it safe to buy things at a police auction?

Answer by  Unoriginal (12)

Yes, it's safe to purchase items at a police auction. The criminals won't get you for items you've purchased, because they have no idea who it was that purchased the item. However, if you're buying a car, you should be more concerned with the condition of it, and not the condition of you if the criminals want it back.
