Unabomber's belongings go on auction today
http://www.ajc.com/news/feds-to-auction-unabombers-948877.html

Now's your chance. The infamous sweatshirt and dozens of other items that belonged to mail bomber Ted Kaczynski are for sale in an online auction that begins Wednesday.

The federal government is selling the Unabomber's stuff to raise money for his victims.

The U.S. Marshals Service had custody of the items, but asked the General Services Administration to sell them. The auction will occur on the GSA's website: www.gsaauctions.gov and run until June 2.

The auction includes Kaczynski's sprawling, 35,000-word manifesto, both the written draft and the typewritten version. The typewriter? Yup, it's for sale, too, along with his Harvard diploma, transcripts and even his birth certificate. Altogether, there are 20,000 pages of documents, plus household tools, such as a hammer and drill bits.




I guess they'll make for some interesting conversation pieces to have around the house.
