PropertyRoom.com Returns Medical Equipment To Physician

PropertyRoom.com is an online police auction site that focuses on helping public agencies sells stolen, seized, and surplus items. From time to time we come upon items where we’re able to return the item to its rightful owner. Here’s an account of a customer success story that had a VueTek Vascular Imager stolen from them.

I know you may not know what this is; it’s simply a device that allows clinicians to detect difficult to see veins, valves, bifurcations, and possible hematoma on patient types ranging from neonates to elderly, darker skin, obese, as well as those with compromised vasculature. We had a loyal customer bid and win the VueTek Vascular Imager but found out that the item was unable to be used because it was stolen and already registered under another company name in the database.

So like a Good Samaritan they reached out to us and we worked with the manufacturer and the company who had the item stolen to have it properly returned. We refunded the customer who purchased the item and also shipped the item to the original owner. Through the whole process PropertyRoom.com communicated with the police agency, who’s our client, to verify it was the original owner stolen item, the manufacturer of the VueTek Vascular Imager and the winner of the auction (customer).

PropertyRoom.com prides itself on customer service and wanted to share this story to show how our customer service department works diligently to resolve issues. Here are four things to consider if you have had an item stolen and are looking for it on PropertyRoom.com.
