Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Photo provided is not actual bike, but this is the kind and almost exact coloring. Locked bike up at el station around 8:45 a.m., got on train and went to work as always. But this time, when I got off the train coming home, my bike and its lock were gone. There was someone else's cut chain on the ground right where I left my bike. Guess someone got away with more than one bike today at the Halsted Orange Line station.

Party at my fraternity house, and someone gained access to our basement and took the bike out the front door. The bike was last seen by me around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 8th and was first noticed missing around noon the following day. UChicago fall sports players were present, and it is suspected that either a member of the women's volleyball team or a member of the men's football team.

bike was in parking lot locked toa fence on the side of Uptown Lounge. The lock appeared to not be touched, but the bike was gone. Very odd.

Victim was on the bike in front of the parking lot gate of Mark Sheridan when the three thieves came towards him and picked him off the bike. They then proceeded to steal the victim's bike and ran off with it.

Bike stolen from in front of Quiznos on Halsted just north of Wrightwood.

Bike was locked inside a gated yard but possibly visible from street to someone who was looking. Locked to a wrought iron fence with only a cable. Left the bike at 8pm and saw that it was gone without a trace at 6am the next morning.

Worked out for 1.5 hours at YMCA and went to leave and bike and lock were gone

The bike was locked up in my basement. I last used it on August 29th and when I went to do laundry the following Sunday, I noticed it had been stolen.

Bike was locked in a friend's basement over the summer. One of the roommates apparently left the basement door unlocked after doing laundry and the bike was stolen.

Our garage must have been left open around dusk and the bike was unlocked in the garage. We normally park our truck in the garage at night, but we were getting ready to go camping and our truck was in the drive as we loaded it for our trip or the other possibility was that it happened while my wife had the truck at her place of work. With the truck out of the garage this would have made it easier for the person to gain access to the bike. The bike was behind other bikes in the garage so the person specifically targeted the men's bike.

Someone got through my locked garage door and stole the bike which was not locked because I didn't think they could get at it through the locked garage. The seat is ripped, it's black and white "vintagey" looking.

I don't know exactly the date or time. It was the weekend of Aug 11-13. Market Days on Halsted was going on that weekend. I noticed it was gone that Monday or Tuesday. The lock was gone. It had been parked and locked around a no parking sign on my sidewalk outside my apartment building. I had just gotten it, so I don't have any pics.

I locked the bike up Friday night, went out, ran errands Saturday and when I came back over to my boyfriend's Saturday evening it was gone. :-(

The bike was locked in a storage locker in the basement of my building. The lock to the storage locker was busted off, and the bike was stolen. This happened sometime between mid-day Saturday September 1st and morning of Monday September 3rd.

I left the biked locked in my enclosed porch area with a locking gate. Since I share this accessway with my roommate and two neighbors I believe that one of them left the locking gate open and allowed entry of the person who took my bike. I do not believe either of my neighbors would have taken it and my roommate obviously has not. I don't know how the lock was defeated. I imagine it was cut and thrown away into any one of the numerous nearby alleyway trash basins. I am incredibly upset. Being stolen from is just about the worst feeling ever.

I locked the bike to a bike rack bolted to the ground in front of the LPAC. The rack was just to the right of the front door on Diversey (lots of light, people, the front desk, etc). There was a camera aimed on the bikes. I locked my cable bike lock (thicker) with a security rating of 4/5. I wrapped the lock around the rack and both tires and the frame. I locked the lock and went inside. It was around 7:15pm and were several other bikes there. When I came out of the gym the bike and lock were gone, no evidence of a cut lock. The bike is a women's frame, so it seems like who ever stole it was going to sell it. I also think that this is someone who feels comfortable stealing bikes in this area, as the lock had to have been cut in a very public area and in front of the front desk.

Four bikes were stolen from our garage: The Orbea Onix listed below, this Le Mond, a women's Fuji Finest, and a Specialized ladies hybrid. Our neighbors left the garage door open.

Four bikes were stolen from our garage at 956 N Wolcott on the morning of Thursday, 23 Aug, 2007.

My bike was parked inside my office building, and stolen at approximately 3:30p.m. on August 27, 2007. I believe it may have been taken out the back door, which opens to the alley between Wabash and Michigan.

I had my bike unlocked in my garage that was locked. I had not realized that the bike was unlocked usually i keep it locked w/ my roommates bike. Noticed that it was gone a few nights after i left it in there. However my roommates bike was still in there locked up. I believe my garage door may have been left open by one of my roommates because there was no way anyone could have broken into the garage.
