Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

my room mates and i were having a party at my house. and when it got around to three am, i tried to end the party so i could go to bed.. but my room mate wanted to keep it going. so i just went to bed. at some point some one thought it would be an amazing idea to steal my bike from out of my closet...woke up the next morning and my bike was the only one stolen out of my other two roomates bikes....

Left in alley for about 40 minutes when in a hurry, gone after that.

Locked to the fence in the 7-11 parking lot on the corner of Sheffield and Addison during the Cubs game. (They lost)

My bike was in the storage room/laundry room of my apartment building. We have a metal gate with a lock and a door with a lock to get into the storage room/laundry room.

Someone cut the lock In broad daylight on a Busy street in front of an open business.

The bike is stored in my basement of a building I own. Only 3 other people have access to the basement. I believe it was an inside job but have no way to prove it. The doors to the basement are always locked and the doors were not tampered with. The tires were flat so it couldn't have been ridden. They also require a special piece to be used to full the tires. U can't just go to the gas station and fill them unless u have the piece.

The bicycle was locked to a bike rack located inside of an enclosed and locked parking area behind an apartment complex. It was discovered missing after having been locked up 21 hours prior. It had been secured with a heavy-duty bike cable with 5 digit combination lock by Bell through the front tire and frame to a bike rack where other bikes were locked with u-locks and were left unharmed. The rear tire, seat and frame were locked by a thin 4 digit combination lock. The bike, helmet, two locks, lights and bag were all taken. The rack appears to be intact and other bikes locked beside were unharmed.

I locked my bike when I arrived at work, when I left the building this evening it was gone.

Bike was locked to outdoor office building bicycle racks. Office building is directly above Amtrak Union Station, and building bike racks are between Adams Union Station entrance and front of the office building. Racks are located away from both Adams sidewalk and Riverside Plaza foot traffic. Racks cannot be seen from sidewalks. I suspect an individual or group may semi-regularly target the area because after speaking with building management about the missing bike, they informed me that on occasion they have caught people at the bicycle racks with power tools.

I locked my bike to a support beam behind my house at approximately 10 p.m., as I do every night. When I woke up this morning at 8 a.m. it was missing.

Parked in front of the Museum on Michigan avenue! broad daylight at 2:40pm locked using a cable lock to a bike rack along with another bike already there. Came back and it was gone. They must have cut the lock and taken it or had a master key.

Someone cut the fence in my backyard and slipped the lock out of it, then took the bike with the lock still attached.

Found garage door open at 5pm on Thursday Aug 8. Bike was not secured to anything in garage because the garage is usually closed and locked. Bike could have been stolen at any time overnight from 8pm Aug 7 to 5pm Aug 8.

This is the best bike I've ever had. I loved it, and I was a fool to leave it on the corner! But I've learned from my mistake. My bike was locked to a street sign, with my heavy duty chain and padlock. The chain was cut- I have the broken link here on the table, and now my bike is gone. She is all blue, and is in pretty great condition though I think that she's on the vintage side. I'd kept my bike in our basement for the past year at least, but this week I decided it would be alright to leave it locked on the well-lit, open corner near the church, across the street from my building. I thought I'd use it again soon, but the weather this week ended up being rainy and unpredictable... There will never be another like her! I'll go back to using a u-lock, as fun and convenient as the chain was. I liked also that I could lock my back wheel with the chain, but clearly that doesn't cut it. No pun intended.

Suspect pried/broke the bricks which the pole was sunk into. After they were able to pry the bricks off of the ground, they then removed the pole from the ground/concrete, took the bike (which was locked on using a U Lock/Cord), off the pole and then threw the pole to the side. The left all the bricks (8 or so) removed from the ground and the sign was on the sidewalk.

Bike was locked up with a newer U-lock w/flat key with orange handle to a street sign in a Lincoln Park neighborhood overnight. In the morning, the bike was missing and the street sign was dug up and removed so that the thief could slip bike off the pole and take it.

Locked at 805 W. North Avenue just east of Clybourn. Between the L stop & the Apple Store-under a security camera! Not sure what time -between 7:30am-5:30pm
