Where Do These Vehicles Come From?
According to the post:
''Our agency occasionally sells abandoned property. After trying to locate the original owner(s), we post notices in public places and publish them in newspapers before the items are auctioned to the public in accordance with Wyoming law.
As such, we have no history on any of these vehicles, and most auctioned vehicles have no keys. All vehicles are auctioned as-is, with no warranties expressed or implied. We reserve the right to reject any or all bids.''
Car buyers will have to pick up the vehicles by the end of business on Friday, Jan. 12. Cash only, business hours are between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The sheriff's office is located at 50140B US Highway 191 South in Rock Springs. On auction day, gates will open at 9:30 a.m., bidding starts at 10.
