HUNTLY , Scotland, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- A set of all seven "Harry Potter" novels signed by author J.K. Rowling is in a Scottish police lockup.
Books Abroad Chairman Steve Read said his nonprofit group convinced Huntly police to lock up the set until it's put up for sale on eBay later this month, The British Telegraph reported Monday.

Read said he turned to the law after the Clydesdale Bank said it was not insured to hold onto the hot property.
The books, a letter of authenticity from Rowling and the yellow police receipt -- No. 6666 -- are expected to fetch as much as $40,000 for the charity when they are auctioned off.
