Property personnel throughout the country are continuing to amaze me with the variety of their property room fare.  It seems that especially in the networking environment of our classes do they share those deep treasures.  We are starting to see some similar ones, but I'm sure you'll find that we have some totally unique ones, too.

Body parts seem to be held in a number of property rooms. The most unusual one this issue is a human tongue, held in the West Lind, OR, property room of Sergeant Kevin Gove.

Expanding the parts list to include animals, we have chimpanzee fingers in the LAPD property room according to Property Officer Angela Glosson.  Deputy Jeff Lang of the Johnson County (KS) Sheriff s Department property room has a dog leg (not the golf kind), which they have had for ten years.  With that seniority, I hope it was from a homicide case.

Two agencies had honorable mention items this issue.  LAPD claims one of them.  Steve Hom from their property room reports that they have some parts from a B-1 Bomber.  He didn't mention which ones, probably out of concern for national security.  Also "honorable" was Property Manager Chris Jansen, from the University of California at Berkeley Police Department, who has radioactive bomb fragments.

Winner for this issue, however, came in first by a great distance.  Hundreds of thousands of miles, to be not too exact.  The North Arizona University Police Department property room actually has moon rocks.  Thanks to Police Aide Vem Price for sharing the winner with us all.
