Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike disappeared from my garage (Fulton River District - Intersection of Fulton and Des Plaines over the weekend (7/21-7/23). It's been stored safely there for over a year without incident, apparently some neighbors saw a suspicious individual in the garage and called the police but not before he seems to have made off with my bike. The ironic thing is that the large majority of people will not be able to ride this bike. Is is 61 cm and currently set up for a 6'8" person (me) to ride. There is a U-lock holder attached to the vertical bar where a drink holder usually goes. Any help in finding my ride would be greatly appreciated, as you can imagine this is extremely frustrating!

Bike was left overnight outside of residence. Found only piece of lock in the morning.

The bike was hanging upside down on hooks in the garage, U-locked to itself. One of my neighbors broke the garage door Friday night and didn't tell anyone so the garage remained open all night. At 5am Saturday I discovered the garage open and my bike (as well as at least one of my neighbor's bikes) missing.

Theives entered yard went into garage cut lock on bikes opened garage door and left. Stolen with a schwinn voyager

The bike was stolen because it is an eye candy and it did not have the best locking devise. It was parked right in the front of the security booth at John H Stroger Hosital parking garage. I came in to work my shift at 7:30 am and when I got off from work at 5pm the bike was gone. I will try to find out if there are security cameras that could potentially reveal the event.

I was out riding around ,came back home to use the bathroom ,left bike outside in my yard it was around 9:30 pm,after about 10 min came out bike was gone...

Bike was stolen together with a Trek 700 Multitrack (see other report). The two bikes were locked together in the alley behind my condo, and left there for no more than 5 minutes.

Bike was stolen together with a Diamondback Outlook (see other report). The two bikes were locked together in the alley behind my condo, and left there for no more than 5 minutes.

Someone walked into the building where I worked because a construction company had propped the door open with a phone book, walked into an open office, went all the way to the back, right next to an office people were working in, grabbed the bike and ran with it. He was witnessed running away with the bike but got away.

Bike was locked to an interior fence in a locked yard. Apparently our neighbors left their gate open, which allowed access to the shared fence to which my bike was locked. The fence post was cut with a saw or bolt cutters, and the bike was lifted out, presumably with the cable lock intact.

My friend and I rode bikes to the rock-n-roll race in grant park. I always ride to big races and lock my bike in front at the Art Institute of Chicago. There are usually several other people who do the same, however this time when I returned there was only one bike there when I returned. I think someone took all the bikes in this area at once. I left the bike at 5:30am and locked properly and when I returned at 11am it was gone. I will never lock my bike there again.

Locked to a street sign and went into work -- when I got out at 3pm, the bike was gone. Nothing unique about it. Just gone.

The bike was parked directly in front of Moody Church and could have only been stolen in broad daylight. There were no other bikes locked to this rack as far as I know, and the lock would have needed a cable cutter to be broken.

The bike was locked across the street from the California Blue Line stop in Logan Square. I left it locked up for the day while I took the train. When I returned that night, the lock was cut and the bike was missing. The other bike that I was locked up with on the same lock was still there.

Some asshole cut the cable lock with cable cutters and took off with it.

Bike went missing while a neighbor was moving out. Filed police report
