When my mountain bike was stolen right off my car in my driveway in Portland six years ago, I angrily searched throughout the neighborhood for it (and the rotten thieving scoundrels, too).

But, for some reason, I never bothered to check with the police to see if they'd picked it up.

I'll bet a lot of folks do the same.

And, like me, never see their missing bike again.

Maybe that's why the storage locker at the Portland Police Dept. is filled to capacity with bicycles of all kinds. So much so that they're considering turning to an auction company to help get rid of them.

So you just might be able to help take one off their hands. Yours!

So if you've had a road or mountain bike stolen in the city in the past year, there's a pretty good chance it'll have turned up and been taken to the police storage.

Worth a call or a visit anyway.

You never know. Your trusty bike might be there waiting for you...
