POLICE are selling a vintage cloche on eBay this week.

The metal dome is usually spotted in posh hotels or old movies when a meal is presented.

A brand new silver one can be picked up from Amazon for about £10 but Thames Valley Police are flogging off a hallmarked gold one for just 99p.

Its one of 25 weird and wonderful things that the police have listed on their buying and selling page this week, alongside a Prada bag and seven bin bags full of different phone cases.

When things that have been seized in police investigations or handed in at stations go unclaimed the force makes a decision to bin it, donate it or sell it.

Here is the list of things that have ended up in the selling pile at the police HQ this week, with the current price accurate at the time of writing:
