Never heard of PropertyRoom.com - but from a quick look at the "Police Auctions" it just looks like a legalized market for stolen goods haha. I mean they have a bundle of ~10 "used" bikes.
Why try to find the owner of stolen goods, when you can just put it online and sell it youself...
Guessing they hold it for a certain amount of time before selling it.

- dml-at-umd 3y agoStates have various rules for finding the original owners. Unfortunately, they're mostly rather antiquated, like having to post in a local newspaper. The onus is really on the person who lost/had their property stolen to track down where it might be.
- Anthony-G 3y agoKudos to An Garda Síochána (Irish police force) for putting a lot of work into returning recovered stolen property to its owners. About 7 years ago, they published photos of many bikes that they had recovered in the Dublin region. Similar to other cities, bike theft has been endemic in Dublin for a long time but the guards do make the effort to combat it. https://www.garda.ie/en/about-us/online-services/unclaimed-property/ https://www.garda.ie/en/about-us/online-services/unclaimed-p...
