It would seem that Bruce is cashing in his Elvis stuff -

The "former property"? Maybe Bruce has been burgled. Incidentally, just reading The Big Wheel again and it appears to be that The Keyboard Player and The Drummer have more of the scandalous stories told about them that The Singer!

Or perhaps the shop has bought the items and they are indeed former property of the bass player as the shop now owns the items.

This reminds me of a story of when Topper Headon of The Clash went into a shop to sell his Gold discs in order to buy more heroin. The person at the store asked him if he was sure he wanted to sell them. Topper replied he was sure as they were only overseas awards and it was the UK ones that really mattered. Sure enough he was back there the next wekk with the UK discs.
