So I guess the winning bidder would be buying stolen goods. ---

No more mindless then this: [www.ebay.com/viewItem1739836216.html](http://www.ebay.com/viewItem1739836216.html) There are just some incredibley stupid and sick puppies out there. ---

It’s been taken off. ---

No, the URL is just messed up. [http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1739836216](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1739836216) You’d have to sign in to see it, since it’s in the adult area. An excerpt from the auction: the title is "Feel Wife’s Breasts If You Pay For Boob Job. ", and the body adds "If you are the kind patron of my wife’s breast lift, you will get to spend a little time with them once they are done. " Very stupid, and will probably get closed down, but sort of irrelevant to the OP, which makes me wonder why I’m helping fix the link… Anyway, **Violet** the auction seemed to say that the person selling it isn’t the one who stole it. I doubt that makes it any more legal, though. ---

A 1987 Italian Lucky Strikes ashtray? Huh? Who the hell would buy that, anyway? But yeah, advertising it as stolen goods is a new low. ---

The boob auction is currently on [Cruel.com](http://Cruel.com). As it mentions there, it seems to be a prank by a couple of DJs. ---

Umm Its an ashtray? From the '80s? Not only is it probably only worth 5$ now, I don’t think anyone cares/reported it missing. And who knows if the person is telling the truth. Who is going to waste the time and money of the state to investigate it? ---
