Michael Vick’s Personal Items Sold ~ (Photos)
Precious pictures of Michael Vick and his baby were recently sold to the highest bidder. The items were located in a storage unit rented by Vick and his children’s mother in Williamsburg, Virginia. The unit had gone unpaid for some time and the company, Iron Bound Mini Storage, auctioned off the contents of the unit for a whopping 10 bucks!
It is not uncommon for people to rent storage units and leave them unattended. Maybe because they can’t pay the bill, or possibly because they just forgot. But you’d think that Mike’s people would have made sure to keep track of his valuable possessions.
The contents of the unit contained pictures of Vick and his son (Mitez), a football signed by Vick to the child which reads “Pooh, Yo Daddy love you!” in addition to other boxes packed with baby clothes, baby furniture and other items believed to be memories of Vick’s first-born boy. (Vick has 3 kids, a boy and 2 girls).
The winner of the bid, Ed Howard, has already made a profit off of his purchase by selling several items on a street corner near the unit. Several photos of the contents below:
I am saddened by the news, however Howard has stated that he plans to hold some of the items and will return them to Vick once he is released from prison. Howard, who’s been interviewed by several television stations states:
“I’d say ‘Hey man here’s your football back that you signed for your boy.’ Seeing that it was their first boy you know that’s probably got a lot of sentimental value to it I’m sure,”

I feel ya but this type of behavior by authorities is nothin new. Look at current events. What is going on in the world when we got country’s like Iran saying, “good the U.S. is finally getting what they deserve”. The U.S. government is not liked by quite a few entities including the local urban public. If they’re not careful white suburbia is going to not like them as well.

September 26, 2008 @ 2:32 pmThis is sad, but VIc brought this all on himself, he pissed his life away because he wanted to keep it real, now look he is looking real stupid, No Career, No Money, No Home, and now he really don’t own shhhh, and again, looking out for family shows how much his sorry *** family looked out for him doing this time for him. Vic is a grown man, when he get out, he should be only focused on God, Himself, Kids, Football Career, and get rid of the low down, snitchin, sorry *** family who wouldn’t even pay a storage bill for him, No hate real talk!!!!

September 29, 2008 @ 9:19 amWow this article made me mad, sad & somewhat glad, I agree with all who have commented on this subject.
But above all it sickens me to know that some people hold a dogs life in higher regards than a human.
Like Chris Rock said” There was a homeless man who had a dog and people fed the dog before they even considered feeding that man” Shame on them all!

November 14, 2008 @ 4:13 pmI am still a Mike Vick fan! I pray that when comes out that he goes back to the NFL with a vengeance!! He is still young enough and talented enough to get everything back that he had 10x’s over! I’m sure people are going to blast this blog but he deserves a second chance just like anyone else that has done wrong and paid the consequences of their crime. I totally agree with the last blog, it is RIDICULOUS that people hold the life of a DOG over the life of a HUMAN. People have tried to totally destroy this mans life over this. You have homeless people, domestic violence, hate crimes and so much worse that needs to be looked at. I think the real HATE is because people could not stand to see a TALENTED, SUCCESSFUL, BLACK man dominating the industry like he was and WILL AGAIN!!! I can’t wait to buy the jersey of WHATEVER TEAM HE PLAYS FOR BECAUSE YOU CAN BET THAT HE WILL BE PICKED UP because these NFL owners KNOW TALENT WHEN THEY SEE IT and the bottom line is HE BRINGS MONEY TO THE GAME!!!!!
