Love the auction description -

"The Ithaca was recovered from a Police property room with a 10" barrel and pistol grip stock. Some moron stole and cut down a fine 4E, $3500.00 shotgun! The barrels were crushed on the end to be legal.

Reminds me of that movie a few years back "lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels" where they don't realize what the stole.
