In a followup story from KSBY, the auction of the equipment left in storage has been completed in a public auction attended by more than 150 people.
The first Pendragon unit went to Ezat Darabi for $3,700; he came from southern California and was prepared to spend $5,000.
"I took a big chance of bidding on this," Darabi said. "Maybe I'll find some nice interesting stuff."
"They could be empty, too," Darabi said. "The cases could be empty, nothing inside."
The second Pendragon unit went to Donna Simpson, an Arroyo Grande woman, for $350.
