A bunch of Michael Jackson's stuff was moved out of his Las Vegas home yesterday -- and judging by previous collections of MJ's property, there was probably a lot of interesting items in those boxes.

We're told Jackson's property is being moved to a storage facility in Los Angeles -- the best of which may be used for Michael's upcoming memorabilia tour.

Some of Michael Jackson's memorabilia is missing and the cops are on the case.
Jackson was in a prolonged legal dispute with a guy named Henry Vaccaro, who got a judgment against the singer in the 90s that Jackson never paid. Vaccaro ended up with a treasure trove of memorabilia, including 60 unreleased master tapes -- which contained 26 of Jackson's songs which have never been heard by the public.
We've been told the dispute between Jackson and Vaccaro lingered and recently Vaccaro agreed to give Jackson 8 items that Michael wanted. We do not know which specific items Jackson flagged.
We're told on July 19, two of Jackson's lawyers went with Vaccaro to the storage locker in Las Vegas where the memorabilia was being stored. According to Vaccaro, 114 items were missing, including the 8 items Jackson's lawyers were there to retrieve.
The items ended up being sold a week later by Clark County Public Auction owner Mario Trabado -- who says he acquired the items legally from a private seller.
Jackson's lawyers were suspicious and believe Vaccaro took the items out of the storage unit. Vaccaro says he removed nothing, and filed a report with the North Las Vegas Police Department.
The PD tells us they're investigating the case.
UPDATE: In a police report filed by Henry on July 31, he claimed over $1 million in losses from the missing items.

The new documents in the Michael Jackson estate case show the special administrators of the estate expect to haul in money in the "high eight figures" for merchandising and other Jackson-related stuff.
The docs mention the $5.5 million the special administrators already collected from Dr. Tohme Tohme. In addition, the administrators have collected "millions of dollars of tangible personal property throughout the country, including memorabilia and art."
The docs say the special administrators are deep in negotiations to market all things Jackson.
The docs claim the special administrators have resolved three lawsuits.

We know ... it's no shocker that some kinky Madonna memorabilia happens to be floating around -- the market is flooded with the stuff -- but that doesn't mean these naughty Madonna auction items aren't interesting to thumb through.

Among the 489 celeb items up for sale on www.gottahaverockandroll.com are some of Madonna's old love letters, raunchy answering machine recordings to her former lover Jim Albright, and a 15-minute extended scene from her '93 flick "Dangerous Game" -- recorded for Albright's eyes only.
An auction spokesman tells us the tape shows a topless Madonna appearing to snort cocaine and inhale nitrous oxide.
The auction -- which also includes goodies like Jimi Hendrix's first ever contract (for $1), tons of Beatles stuff and a bitchin' Janis Joplin mug shot -- ends Aug. 5.

Sir Paul McCartney's recent marital troubles got you down? Let's not think about Paul as the guy who married that woman that nobody seems to like, but as the musician who has endured for over forty years. What better way to to keep the dream alive then with some Macca memorabilia?!
Once upon a time, Paul was in a little band called The Beatles. Well, you can bid on a Beatles Flicker pin from that bygone era. One image shows the entire band, and when you tilt it, a portrait of Paul appears with the words "I Love Paul."
If you're a guitarist, you might want to bid on this Paul McCartney autographed hollow-body electric guitar. Nevermind that Paul plays bass guitar, it's still a pretty nifty conversation piece.
