Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The bike was stolen sometime during the school day. The person would have needed to get into the fenced in playground area and then stolen the bike. The lock was cut and left at the scene. There was a pretty constant stream of classes playing outside during the day so there were only small windows of time that it could have been stolen.

The bike was locked in a cage. Someone cut the lock and stole the bike.

Someone has broken into our basement storage unit and cut into the cage to stole the bike.

Left bike outside of mini mart on 18th and Blue Island. In the store for 5 minutes and bike was gone

My bike was on my car bike rack. I was parked in a crowded parking lot in front of a strip mall. I forgot that my bike was on my rack, unlocked, since I was driving straight home from getting it tuned up. I spontaneously decided to make a quick stop at a store. I was inside the store for 15 minutes and when I came out my bike was gone and some of the straps of my bike rack were missing (cut off?). I called the police immediately.

Thieves broke into a residential building through a gangway entrance and stole several locked bikes from the bike room.

Bike one second floor of building, in enclosed porch area. Taken along with other bikes from basement. Odd part is that this bike was not immediately visible to anyone who just had the opportunity to sneak in. ***On July 4 2021, the victim wrote to CSBR: This one has made its way back to me. Unsure if it's of interest, but it was bought by someone looking to resell up in Gurnee. Said he got it from the flea market down on Ashland.***

On 7/5/2021 the victim informed us: <<This bike was also bought down at the Swap O Rama on Ashland. It sold in late January but was not posted until July 3rd. Recovered from Bolingbrook.>>

I kept two bikes locked up in my storage unit at Ravenswood Terrace. 3 months ago I noticed wheels on one bike was stolen and just today I noticed an entire bike, frame, and lock were stolen. The bikes were locked to each other through the front wheel. Only residents are able to access the storage unit as you need a code.

Went to check on my bike in my apartment's bike storage area. My lock had been cut with bolt cutters and left, and the bike was gone. This is a very large bike - 23" frame and 29" wheels - and it sticks out like a sore thumb in the city.

Someone in the building left the garage door open. The thief came in and stole the bike off the rack.

Some guy in my building asked me whose bike that was, and it was mine. Almost like he knew, told me abo it a camera that didn’t work. Gone 2 days later after he asked. One of a kind Fizik Seat that says “TEST”

I came down to do laundry and discovered that both mine and my wife's bikes had been stolen together from the bike rack in our condo storage area.
