Where are Foreclosure Auctions held?

Government, Police, and Foreclosure Auctions

• Thank you for your help regarding this matter. Would you be able to provide a list of some sort that lists out the auctions by the government, police, or banks which include homes, automobiles, and/or planes? If the list is good expect a sizable tip.
