The contents of the large Vermont house he shared with his new wife, Suzan, were auctioned off to about 350 people who jammed two large tents at a moving company warehouse. "I knew there was going to be a lot of stuff," said auctiongoer Ruby Huston of Shelburne.

The Lees sought $10 million in damage. The Motley Crue drummer and Baywatch star claim the self-photographed tape was stolen by a construction worker who remodeled their Malibu home last year.
