Auctioneers on Saturday sold off items owned by a former Indiana money manager who tried to fake his death in a plane crash,
including the motorcycle he used to flee after parachuting from his plane.

Hundreds of people turned out as Marcus Schrenker's belongings went up for bid in Indianapolis.

One attendee paid $28,000 for a $68,000 boat. But others were just curious about a man who investigators say abandoned his
plane over Alabama, then used a motorcycle he'd stashed in a shed to elude authorities for two days. The plane crashed
unmanned in a Florida swamp.

Schrenker is serving four years in prison for the 2009 crash. His securities fraud trial begins in October in Indiana. He's
accused of bilking investors out of $1.5 million. He's pleaded not guilty.
