Left behind: Foreclosure property

When Oklahomans reach economic distress, many have no other option but to surrender their home.

Currently around the OKC metro, there are 319 home foreclosures. 

In most cases, financially-strapped families pack up everything and move on but not always.

Auctioneer Louis Dakil said, “Just cut your loses. Just boogie. That’s what they do.”

Dakil’s Oklahoma City warehouse is filled with seized merchandise.

He has everything from Christmas trees to cars.

Dakil said, “A lot of vehicles are abandoned. Now and then we get a good one.”

The shelves are stacked floor to ceiling with more than a million dollars in merchandise.

Several times a month, it’s auctioned off to the highest bidder. 

iPhones stolen from football locker room

WARR ACRES, Okla. – Campus police are investigating two locker room thefts at Putnam City High School.  

School officials said two iPhones and a set of expensive headphones were stolen from the football locker room last week.

“He came back, opened his locker and he just called me from school and said, ‘Mom my stuff is gone,’” parent Jennifer Pierce said. 

Pierce said someone broke into her son’s locker while he was at football practice.

School officials are now reviewing video from surveillance cameras located outside  the locker room.

“It’s a little bit frustrating for us because normally if something happens at a school we find out the truth.  The students will talk. The students know right from wrong and someone will tell us what happened,” Steve Lindley with Putnam City Schools said.

School officials said they will replace some of the locks inside the locker room.

OKC kicks off new bike share program downtown

OKLAHOMA CITY — This week Oklahoma City is set to launch a new way to get around downtown.

The city’s new bike share program, called Spokies, will be a cheap and healthy alternative to driving.

The bikes are still locked up until Friday but city leaders hope the program redefines how many people move around downtown.

“I think it really is going to encourage people to get out and ride bikes,” city councilwoman Meg Salyer said.

“It’s really for anybody who needs a bike for any reason,” Downtown OKC’s Jill Delozier. said. “I think it’ll be a great way for people to stay fit and healthy and ride bikes more.”

Here’s how it works: swipe a credit card, pull out a bike and ride for 30 minutes at a time.

The rides will cost $5 a day, $20 a month or $75 a year.
