Bicycle Auction - Sept. 22

The City of Woodstock and Woodstock Police will auction off about 75 bicycles on Saturday, September 22, beginning at 9:00AM. Come to the little garage behind the police station on Lake Avenue, near Dick Tracy Park.

If you would like to inspect the bikes before the auction begins, come at 8:30AM. Check the City's website (www.woodstockil.gov) for more information or call the police station at (815) 338-2131. Bring cash. If you plan to pay by check, call the PD first to ask if a check will be accepted.

Recently a stolen bicycle was recovered. It had been stolen in Hoffman Estates in October. Because the owner had filed a police report with the serial number of the bike, the owner could be identified and got her $300 bicycle back.

Woodstock Police may rekindle its bicycle registration program. This shouldn't be hard at all. A simple Excel spreadsheet would contain all the necessary information for local bike thefts. You'll need the make, model, serial number, color, equipment, condition, etc. Watch for more details in the media about this program.
