Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Came home from store, leaned bike against back porch in fenced in backyard, ran up stairs to put groceries away, eat some food, came back down 30 mins later, bike was gone. 6 pm. Broad day light. We have new neighbors across the street, they are very shady. They were out when it happened, claimed they didnt see anything. The cops have been at their place a few times in the last few weeks. They are noisy, dirty, rude. They wouldn't even talk to me when I asked if they saw anyone take my bike. I'm pretty sure they took it, but there's nothing I can do.

I was at a party and I had my bike out in the backyard of the house I was at along with 5 other bikes that were also not locked. Around 3am I get a call from a friend also at the party saying that a kid took off on my bike and they chased him but weren't able to catch him. He had an accomplice but no one would say anything about who they were when I tried to investigate.

I was at work and I got dinner at 6pm, bike was there. Came out of work at 12:30pm and bike was gone, bouncers in the area informed me they hadn't seen anything, but they said the street sign I had U-locked p o was not secured and was a bad place to lock my bike.

BIke locked at 9 a.m. and gone by 5 p.m..

Bike was brand new and chained to bike rack and cable was cut. There was a lock holder bracket on top frame bar.

bike stolen from garage in Old Irving Park... forced entry middle of morning. bike is very easy to spot - it is orange after all.

I returned to my apt around 8pm on Tuesday 12th and went through my gate into my back yard and down my gangway where I set it against my back door which is fairly private and not immediately visible from the front and slightly visible from the alley. I accidentally left it overnight which i NEVER do and not to my surprise it was gone by 9am in the morning when I finally checked.

Bike stolen from back of car. Stolen bike with Red Osprey Raptor hydration pack (3liter) and greenish Bern All Season helmet with white scratch/divot from a fall on the right side.

Taken from basement of our home. No sign of forced entry could have accidentally left door unlocked. Also possible lost key was used.

Locked the bike to a street sign in front of St. Nicholas on Oakley Blvd, adjacent to my apartment. When I left to take it to work the next following morning (June 13th, 10am) there was no sign or trace of it. I'm very sure it was stolen, as it seems some other bikes in the neighborhood were also taken that evening.

Bike was stolen in the middle of the night. The lock and the bike vanished.

I believe that someone cut through the cable cord that my bike was locked up to and stole it.

Locked my bike with combination lock cable to a city supplied bike rack. There were approximately 10 bikes there, when I locked my bike. Went to see a movie at Landmark Theatre, came out after movie was over, my bike was missing. There were no other bikes attached to bike rack either, however there were locks on the ground, suspect other bikes might be stolen also.

Garage door was mistakenly left open. Thief got away easy. Yes, I feel stupid but I feel worse for the dumbfuck that's got to steal shit to get by.

got there, bike was missing

My son left the bike on the first landing of were we live and he ran up stairs to retrieve a lock he came back down and it was gone

The bike was attached to a very low fence in front of my building. The fence is only there for decoration to surround a flower bed. The bike was there when I went into the building 6/9/12 at night and then it was gone when I left my building 6/10/12.

Went into the zoo for a couple hours, came out and it was gone. Just moved to Chicago a few days ago. Nice welcoming commitee.

My bike & a friend's bike were locked together to my gate outside of my apartment. They were locked on my property inside the gate and were most likely stolen over night. I discovered they were gone and immediately filed a police report. My friend's bike is also a Novara and it light bluish green.

Bike was cable locked to a bike rack at the Cumberland Blue Line Station near elevator and stairs. Both the bike and lock are missing.
