Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Parked my bike at 9 am Monday outside work at 211 E Chicago Ave, near Michigan Ave, busy area. Went back at 12:45 pm and it was gone. The ABUS segmented lock was cleanly cut. My Knog tracking device (which I cleverly forgot to spring) told me the tracker was in Bridgeport. I went to the location and found the tracker discarded on the ground.

Left locked (I think!) to bike rack in front of McFetridge Sports Center from 12:30-1:30pm. Note on photo-bike stolen is the adult bike behind the child’s bike.

Bike was locked at 16:45, by 08:45 it was missing.

On October 27th, sometime between 3am and 1pm, someone stole my bike. The bike was securely locked to a tall road sign post with a Bontrager U-Lock and cable around both wheels outside of 1110 N California Ave. It appears the perpetrator(s) wheeled a garbage bin over, stood atop it, removed the sign from the post, and lifted the locked bike off of the post. Given the U-Lock and cable wrapped around the wheels, they would've had to have carried the bike away. The bike is unrideable unless the lock is cut. Attached to the bike was my black helmet, my water bottle, my orange cargo net, and various bike accessories such as lights, fenders, etc.

Thieves broke into locked detached garage and took 3 bikes, including this one.

Bike last noticed on October 24th at 7pm. Noticed missing on October 26th at 5pm.

Had went to jewel osco on 55th and Pulaski on my MINIBIKE to come buy a ski mask for the cold days on my bike. Parked MINIBIKE on the right side of the jewel osco building. Went in and about 6 minutes came out very quick because I didnt find what I was looking for and when I checked where I had left it, it was gone

Bike was locked to the racks on the street. Discovered it missing the morning of the 26th. Lock and bike were both missing, helmet was sitting in a planter box just beside location that it was stolen. Helmet was originally locked to the u-lock and did not show any damage, indicating that the lock itself was defeated. No obvious indication of a cut lock in the surrounding area. Checked all planter boxes, street, trash can, and dumpster nearby.

Bike was stolen out of the backyard of my apartment building. It was locked to a fence and the fence was cut. The incident occurred sometime between 10/19 at 7 PM and 10/22 at 3 PM

Bike locked to cable and lock that was in a secure parking garage to rack to a second bike which was not stolen. Another attempt was made on a second new e-bike that failed. It appears the thieves were looking for a a certain level of bike to steal as other bikes were not stolen.

Forgot to lock the bike up. Left it lying in the front yard. Someone stole it overnight.

Taken from our residential garage around midnight Oct 13/14

Lakeview neighborhood at Broadway and Barry. It was locked outside of CVS near Divvy rack on light post. Across from the Bagel and BMO bank along Barry.

I locked the bike in front of the post office near Roscoe Village (3635 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60657) at 4:25pm on Friday, 10/11, and visited a nearby business. I returned to the bike rack one hour later at about 5:30pm and the bike was gone. My ABUS u-lock had been cut and left behind, presumably by a angle grind saw given the clean cuts to the metal and melted rubber at the contact points
