Celeste Haidux Cox, executive director of the North Collin County Habitat for Humanity calls the theft a "huge hit," adding that the nonprofit doesn't keep a large reserve for tools.She adds that since the weekend, they've consulted with police about different security options to protect their property, some of which are currently going into place.For Duckett, however, the worry is if she'll be able to move into her home on time in April, though board members assure NBC 5 the mission is still to complete the home, despite any further setbacks.Almost 500 people turned out on Sunday for the second of four Michael Brown auctions, spending tens of thousands of dollars on cars, tools and restaurant equipment from the former hand surgeon's estate.Brown, 56, died in Miami this past November.
On sale Sunday at Webster's Auction Palace were 10 cars, restaurant equipment including commercial refrigerators, ice machines and a slushy machine and margarita maker.Notable sales included tool boxes that went for over a thousand dollars each. Two trailer-mounted electric generators fetched the most money, however, selling for more than $20,000 each.Michael Brown's estate is so large that the sale of his belongings was separated over four auctions.The sale planned for this Sunday features a huge collection of guns, ammunition and hunting trophies, including mounted animals and skins.Ninety-seven guns in total will be up for grabs including a commemorative Colt 1911, 45-caliber with ivory grips.
Other highlights include hunting supplies, fishing tackle and poles and animal skins, some bears but also an elephant skin which auction staff are at a loss to value."It's whatever anyone wants to pay for something like that," said a Webster's Auction Palace spokesperson.Brown was found unresponsive in his upscale Florida condo on Oct. 24, one day before he was due to go to federal prison for 30 days for choking a flight attendant on an international flight.A suicide note was left on a nearby nightstand, according to Florida authorities.
