Oberkirch Lost and Found Office Clears its Inventory
The city of Oberkirch will be holding a lost and found auction at the local fire station on Friday, March 15. The auction will commence at 2:15 pm, with attendees having the opportunity to inspect the items from 2 pm onwards. This biannual event, organized by the municipal lost and found office, aims to sell off unclaimed items or those for which the owners could not be identified.
Among the wide array of items up for auction are bicycles, dolls, electronic devices such as power banks, as well as various pieces of jewelry. The minimum bidding price for bicycles is set at ten euros, while for other items, it is set at one euro. It is worth noting that mobile phones, although frequently surrendered to the city’s lost and found office, will not be included in the auction due to data protection reasons.
“These devices will be destroyed after the expiration of the retention period,” explained Alexandra Speck, the coordinator of Friday’s auction.
Every year, the Oberkirch lost and found office holds these auctions to give a second life to forgotten items. It serves as a way to clear the inventory and make space for newly found articles. The event not only provides an opportunity for residents to find unique and affordable items but also contributes to the local community through the generated revenue, which is often allocated to various social causes.
Supporting the Community
The lost and found auction is not just about selling items; it also aims to create a positive impact on the community. The raised funds from the auction are often used to support local organizations, charities, or development projects. By participating in the auction, bidders contribute to these noble causes and help make a difference in the lives of others.
