Recover your belongings after theft: Consumer Web Site of the Week
This Consumer Web Site of the Week comes via ShopSmart magazine, published by the Consumers Union, which offered tips for shopping at the online police auction site PropertyRoom.com.
We have told you about PropertyRoom.com, which allows police departments across the country to sell items seized from criminals.
It seems they now offer a new service: an opportunity to "steal back" your stolen stuff!
Here's how it works:
You can register the serial numbers of your items after they have been stolen, or (if you're not a procrastinator like me) you'll enter them *before* they get stolen.
Then if those items ever match those of things that are sold by PropertyRoom.com, they will return them to you.
