Bike was parked and locked outside the doors of the Granville CTA station at about 5:30PM Saturday, September 26th. I took the train to work downtown. Got off train at 4:20AM, Sunday September 27th and the bike was gone. Bike that was parked across from me was also gone. CTA security guard told me the bike was definitely there about 3:30am when he walked outside for a smoke. He believes it was taken when he had to go to the platform to do a security check. He also believes it could have been a CTA bike sweep for abandoned bikes. Waiting to hear from CTA to see if that is true or not.

Someone had to come have in my garage area when another resident was driving out. This is a nice bike and they likely saw me use it daily.

My bike was locked in my office buildings bike/storage room at 910 West Van Buren, Chicago, IL 60607. You need a code to get into the bike room. I went to put something in my pannier bag at 3:56pm and shut the door. My co-worker went back to the storage room at 5:22pm to retrieve her bike and saw that my bike was no longer there. There is a trap door that is chest level located in the storage room that has access to all the electrical parts of the building. Cameras were reviewed and no one is seen entering the bike room. The terrible stealer of a person would have to leave at the side entrance of the building at either Peoria or Sangamon. Please help me find my lost limb!

I stopped at a park to say goodbye to my friend and foolishly didn't lock up my bike. There was no one around except my friend and her kid. Five minutes after that my bike was stolen.
