Indianapolis has been called "The Crossroads of America," in large part due to the volume of travelers who fly through the Indianapolis International Airport. Its annual auction is a must-attend event for Billy, Mark, Sally and Laurence.
The Indianapolis International Airport averages 140 non-stop flights to over 30 destinations, more than 20,000 travelers, and 5 million pounds of baggage and property daily. Once a year, hundreds of items go up for sale, from unclaimed luggage to property from all around the city.
