Here's how it works...
1. Your bike gets stolen. Oh no!
2. You file a theft report, and let us know about your stolen bike.
3. We receive your report. After reviewing it, we will post it on the main page. We mainly review reports to weed out spam and make minor editorial corrections to formatting.
4. Your theft report, including your bike's photo, last known location, and date of theft, are posted on our site. Your report also goes into our automatically compiled statistics and is shown on our report map. And, if you're lucky, someone might see your bike and contact you directly and return your bike.
Time is of the essence! Please post your report ASAP for the best chance of getting your bike back, even if you don't yet have all the information. You can contact us via email at info@stolenbike.org at any time to add to or change your listing.
Important: See Mr Bike's tips on I.D.-ing your bike before it gets stolen!
Search tip: Be aware indexing happens nightly so it's recommended that you eyeball at least the first 10 or 12 listings in addition to using the "search" feature.
Feel free to browse recovered bike listings for inspiring tales of bike/owner reunions.
The old Stolen Bike Registry (Jan 2005-Aug 2006) is still available here.

• How was the bike locked?: Bike was locked only to itself, through one or both wheels.
• Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: Bike was in a locked apartment or residence.
Incident Description:
I recently moved into a new 4 story walk up, a retail space on the ground floor and 3 apartments above it. In the back of the building was a stairwell that was used for the apartments to access a garage, parking area and dumpsters (for the retail also). At the bottom of the stairwell is a small storage area and hallway that other residents stored their bikes, strollers, etc. Since the bikes were only locked to themselves and stored within a locked room (no windows)that only residents and the retail space had access to, I felt comfortable storing my bike there.
On Monday 1/9/12, when I got home, my bike was gone. After speaking with the other residents and managers of the salon in the retail space, it seems as if none of them are responsible. I am assuming someone left the back common door unlocked or someone brok in.
This bike looks brand new. I bought in June but only rode about 10 times for about an hour each. You wouldn't know that it wasn't brand new except for the flat tires.

There was also an emblem from Rapid Transit Cycle Shop on it. The red model of this bike is not as popular as the others, and so it's fairly singular. I've never seen anyone else riding one.

Incident Description:
Students' bikes are locked up to this rack all the time, as it's right outside a dorm. It's also set away from the street, and away from non-university residences, which leads me to believe it was a fellow student. Somehow--and the public safety official was completely confused by this, too--the lock was left locked to the rack, and the bike was gone. I saw it was stolen at one in the afternoon, and I had seen it last around two in the morning. I have no idea how it could have been stolen, as the lock is not a combination one.

Incident Description:
I left my bike locked up pretty heavily outside my dorm at DePaul University before leaving for my winter break on November 16th. When I returned to school on January 2nd, the bike was no longer locked to the bike rack outside of the dorm. None of the other bikes that had been locked up in November were there either, save one. Unfortunately, the building was vacant for most of the break, meaning that the bike could have been stolen with relative ease.
