Baltimore County Police Department

Stolen electronics, a repossessed truck, perhaps even a drug dealer's bling can now be yours with the click of a mouse button. Thousands of dollars of stolen and forfeited property that used to languish in Maryland's police agency warehouses - from equipment used to grow marijuana plants to power generators - is being auctioned online to the highest bidder. Jurisdictions across Maryland are joining about 1,300 others nationwide on PropertyRoom.com, an eBay-style auction house that specializes in selling seized contraband for local governments.

Several hundred officers, their families and friends attended the Baltimore County Police Department's annual memorial service Friday in Towson. They laid wreaths at a stone monument at the Towson Courthouse Plaza and shared memories of fallen officers. Many said they come every year and this time they wore large buttons that read "Fallen but not Forgotten." "Mainly, this is a service for those we loved and will never forget," said Lynne Parry, whose husband, Mark F. Parry, died in the line of duty seven years ago. "It is comforting to know that 100 years from now, this county will still call out his name and remember."
