Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Hi! Hello! The last known sighting of my bike was at 5:00 PM on Friday, April 11, after I finished riding it. I discovered it missing at 5:00 PM on Monday, April 14. The bike was stored in a communal basement storage area near the laundry machines. The rear door to this area showed no signs of forced entry, though the lock is known to be weak and can be easily bypassed (I demonstrated this myself in under 10 seconds using just a twig).My leasing office confirmed that their handyman did not remove the bike, ruling out accidental removal. I’m currently speaking with neighbors to narrow down the 72-hour window. I’ve also reached out to adjacent neighbors for access to their security camera footage that may cover the area.The bike is a Nishiki, though I don’t have the exact model or serial number due to its age and the fact that it was a gift about seven years ago. I’m reviewing my phone for any related information. The bike had a heavy-duty chain in a black sheath with a padlock wrapped around the torso, but the lock was not engaged over the weekend and may still be on the bike.I have photos of the bike and a video demonstrating the door lock’s weakness, available upon request. I’ll provide updates if further info arises, assuming the report can be amended.Thank you in advance for your assistance!

My bike was in the covered gangway on the side of by condo, it was U-locked to itself preventing the back wheel from moving. The gang way has a locked gate in front.

Two males entered our condo building by using some kind of universal key on our call box and went into our garage and stole my bike and other property from other residents. The incident was captured on security cameras in the building. However it was not proactively identified. The condo building only accessed the security footage after I reported my bike as missing on 3/23.

I went down to the basement garage to take my bike out for a ride and discovered my bike was missing along with the lock. They left my helmet behind at the scene.
