to Harry in GoF?

Have we ever heard of Sirius Apparating or Disapparating ? I can't
remember it's mentioned anywhere in the books. Seems to me that either
he's never known how to do it, but that seems highly unlikely for someone
so active and bright, or, more probably, he may have forgotten how to
do it during his twelve years in Azkaban. Or maybe it could be that one
would need a wand to Apparate, and if I'm not mistaken, Sirius doesn't
have one of his own (which would explain why we don't see him doing a
lot of magic, apart from his Animagus transformation).

PS : what did they do with his wand when they sent him to Azkaban ?
