Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was stolen from our back porch/garage (overnight).

Bike locked with cable lock to street sign at 2335 N. Orchard Street in Lincoln Park.

Last seen at Taco Burrito King at harlem and higgins at 3:45 pm. I locked the bike to a metal pole in front of the building and went inside to meet with my friends. We talked for about 30 minutes and I looked back to my bicycle and didn't see it there. My lock was a master lock weathertough model and I had a metal chain wrapped in a rubber sleet about one and half feet long.

Navy Specialized Ruby Comp locked on Thule rack on the back of my car. Parked in my driveway at Ainslie and Ashland. Stolen less than 90 mins after I returned home. Bracket of lock broken.

It seems that they lifted the bike over the street sign and took both the lock and bike.

Went in to City Lit bookstore, came out with no bike. Broad daylight, he cut my lock and stole my bike in front of everyone around.

Bike was stolen from my 2nd story porch in Bucktown.

Just noticed my bike was missing, but my lock was on the floor, unharmed. It was locked to a heavy wooden railing on the third floor porch, inside a gated back parking lot. My roommates bike was also stolen, they broke the wooden railing to get it.

Garage was broken into between 6:30 AM and 7 PM. Two bikes were removed from the wall. The picture below is not my bike but it's the same frame and rims.

The bike was locked to a street sign with a U-Lock going through the frame and rear wheel. I also had a steel cable wrapped around the front wheel and locked in the U-Lock. I walked by my bike with a dog that I was walking and went inside for 5 minutes. When I came out the U-Lock had been cut and the bike missing.

I was riding east on Augusta Blvd when something fell off the front of my rack. I stopped to go pick the item from the street, putting the bike on the sidewalk corner. I walked about 18 ft into the street and when I turned around to get my bike, it was gone! I searched around the nearby street and allays for the theft, but did not find him. There was a black male (wearing blue jeans and a blue hoodie), who I remember standing there at the time and was gone after the bike disappeared.

I road my bike to the gym to work out. I parked my bike and locked it at the same bike lock dock area I always did. I locked my bike with a word U lock. The lock was just below the handle bars and connected to the bike rack. Upon returning to the bike rack my bike was missing, but my lock was on the ground still locked to the rack. I feel like the person had to unhook/unscrew my handle bars to take the bike. Why else would the lock still be locked to the dock and on the ground. Prior to going into the gym I checked to make sure my word was not still in my lock and that it was secure

Arrived at the Belmont station from the loop to discover that my bike was stolen from the CTA Belmont station bike rack that is beside the alley entrance to W. Belmont Avenue. I locked the frame and the front tire to the bike rack at 10am that morning to head downtown, and I returned to find the lock and the bike gone.

I locked my bike up on Randolph, just east of Beaudien, across the street from Jay Pritzker Pavilion. I went to Mariano's and then to a meeting. I walked past my bike at 6:35pm, so it had to have been between then and 7:55pm when I returned. I also had my helmet locked up with it.

Had biked locked inside of my hatchback. Large rock was used to break window and then removed bike from car through the window.

Bike was locked. The thief just got away with the front wheel.

It's quite possible that we left our big garage door open — the pedestrian door opens into our high-fenced yard. Unless someone scaled our fence. So we are partially to blame for leaving the door open, but it's still illegal to steal. I've had that bike since I was 16 and it has a lot of sentimental value. Our neighbor did see a "suspicious man" riding a bike in our alley when he took out the trash, but didn't have a description.

I walked outside to take the trash out. I then noticed that my bicycle was missing from the back porch.
