MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Even after five auctions there are still a lot of Denny Hecker’s possessions to be auctioned off, according to Fred Radde and Sons auction house in New Germany.

“Well this one isn’t as luxurious as the past have been, but we still have a couple of Rolex watches, another 30 golf clubs here,” said Fred Radde. “We’ve got a fur coat so we have some interesting pieces.”

The items were recovered by a bankruptcy trustee, during a surprise raid on Denny Hecker’s house in December.

There are some unusual items as well, such as a family of black bears made of bronze and a statue of the Peanuts cartoon character Linus Van Pelt holding a car.

Radde says Hecker’s name brings a lot of people in the door “because his name was on buses and wherever else.”

The auction items also include a Chanel ring 58-year-old Hecker gave to his new wife Christi Rowan-Hecker.

Hecker is serving a 10-year prison sentence for bankruptcy fraud.

The latest auction is planned for June 20 at 5 p.m. at the auction house in New Germany. Proceeds go toward Hecker’s restitution.

      Really does make one wonder doesn’t it Ed

      I don’t think Hecker’s the insideous one on this part of the deal. One maybe needs to loooooooook real hard at the Trustee and various relationships I’ll bet.
      What is that expression …. follow the money. Then follow the powers to be. ‘-)

    [...] I don’t know anything about Denny Hecker, but according to a CBS affliate in Minnesota, he had a lot of stuff and owed some back taxes. So, viola, bankruptcy sale.
