You have seen many registrations on the auction bikes because the MPD had pre-registered them to help encourage people to register after they had purchased a bike. This year we have stopped pre-registering the bicycles, and give out registrations when the bike is purchased and the owner fills out the form. We discovered too many bikes were being sold at the auction without the registration being completed. Hope to see you Saturday, Ellen Pillsbury

Do the previous owners just not care about recovering the bike or is the MPD lax in locating these people or unable to?
