Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

My brand new $500 dollar TREK bike was just stolen today, August 20th at 6:12am, at Museum Park Lofts II, located at 1305 S. Michigan Avenue. I noticed my bike was missing after work. So, I went to our condominium property manager and demanded to see the security video camera. We watched as the criminal entered the building at 6:07am and left at 6:12am w/ two bikes (one of them mine)... I filed a police report.

I locked my bike up to the rack in my apartment building's bike room on August 16th at 6 p.m. When I returned to get my bike at 7 p.m. on August 17th (roughly 24 hours later), the whole bike was gone. I had a Kryptonite U-Lock attached to the front wheel and frame, and a wire that went around the back wheel and attached to the front.

Bicycle was inside a locked porch on the second floor of an apartment building. Locked door downstairs was forced open, and bicycle was only item taken. Thief would have had to have entered from the front of the building, gone through the gangway, opened the door, come upstairs, stolen the bike and brought it back downstairs - no easy feat, considering how heavy the bicycle is with the rack, baskets, and fenders, the passage is fairly narrow, and there are a number of boxes on the porch. Also, from ground level, no one would know that this door leads up to the porch. It also stormed that night, which makes it an even stranger occurrence. I had been moving things in the porch until after 11:30pm the night before, and when I went to get the bike in the morning, it was gone, and the door to the porch had been left open.

So im on the bus(California northbound), when i left my house my bike was still on my back porch..A couple of stops after i get on this dude gets on with a bike on the bus.I didnt think anything of it until i start getting off, and i realize that that is my bike the guy put on the bus..So i get off and call 911 and the guy gets off a couple off stops after i do and hops on the other bus(Milwaukee southbound)..The cops come like 20 minutes later and they cant find him on the bus and i have to fill out a police report ..but no bike..he could have been on americas dumbest criminals if i would have realized that it was my bike he was putting on the bus.I did get a good description of the dude..if i ever see him im calling 911 on his ass

I left the bike in our gangway for "just a moment" -came back (less than one minute later) and it was gone. Neighbor saw the thief ride off and toss my helmet into the yard (recovered)

bike was removed cleanly. Had to have happen between 12 and 5pm. I went to lunch and bike was still there.

The bike was leaning against the fence that surrounds the courtyard behind my apartment. I did not lock it because I was only home for lunch and the building residents always close the gate, which locks automatically. The courtyard is also monitored with security cameras. Those cameras can be accessed by contacting my management company, Cagan Group, at 847/324-8934. Michael Daniels is the property manager.

I was moving in to my new apartment and forgot to lock my bike to the railing of my 3rd story balcony. Went to bed, woke up and my bike as well as my roommate's bike was gone. Saw some suspicious looking people later that day but haven't seen them since.

I left the bike on my car bike rack and ran upstairs to get my friend. (stupid me :( When we came back down 10 minutes later it was gone.

I locked my bike with a gray combination lock to the bike rack outside of the CTA-Brown-Line-Paulina Building on 3411 North Paulina Street, in Chicago, IL, 60657, at approximately 12:20pm on Thursday August 9th and travelled on the Brown Line into the city. I returned on Saturday, August 11th to retrieve my bike and neither the bike nor the lock were there, so I think they were stolen overnight. I filed a police report immediately with Officer Easley, 6226 this afternoon (HN522869).

My bike was locked to a fence and steel crossbracing on the INSIDE of my secure parking lot at my condo building. The thieves cut a person-sized hole through the fence and steel crossbracing and took the bike, lock and all, sometime between Sunday PM and Monday AM on 8/6/2007.

I park my bike here every night, so I suspect they came specifically to get it. It was locked to a metal fence along the side of my house that was cut. It happened sometime between 1am and 7am. I'm so so so sad, and angry at not having locked it more securely! My little buddy will bring me no more summertime joy. We have some good memories, though. Thanks for your help.

I park on Berteau next to this building every day -- I work there, and can see the bike from my office window (but wasn't looking when this must have happened). I really loved that bike, any information would be much appreciated.

I locked my bike up on our porch, at the ground level to one of the support beams of the two-level deck around ten thirty sunday night. I went out this morning, monday, and it was gone. so was the combonation cable lock i locked it up with. The bike has a brand new Kryptonity U-lock still in it's holder to the bike post because i could not get it out of the holder. It is attached to the bike on the main post. Because i could not get the U-lock out of the holder, I used a cable lock to secure the bike to thepost by wrapping it through the tire and the bike itself. The bike also has 7 round red reflector stickers on it. 2 on the sealt, 3 on the part the seat is attached to [facing backwards to traffic] and two small ones on the beams by the back tire, also facing backwards.

The bike was locked on a fence in front of the apartment where i live. Hours later when I looked out the window and found that it was missing.

my bike was sitting at the bike rack in front of savor the flavor coffeehouse. there were maybe 4 or 5 other bikes surrounding it. i went into the cafe for 15-20 minutes and then he was gone.

My bike was stolen off my office buildings bike rack between 10 am and 5pm. There was no evidence of a struggle with the lock.

Bike was locked on bike rack on 700 North block of LaSalle Dr. Somewhere between the hours of 9 and 5pm the bike lock cable was cut and bike was stolen.

I parked and locked my bike overnight and the following morning I noticed it gone.

Went to work and locked bike as usual. Came out and bike was gone, with lock.
