Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I work at Ready Coffee (right next to Myopic Books) in Wicker Park. Bike was parked right in front of storefront, locked to a bike rack. It was there when I walked down the street, and when I walked back it was gone. The front tire is still there, locked to the bike rack with the u-lock. This had to happen between 2:30 and 3:00pm. Right pedal was missing and right brake did not work. A lot of the lettering is scratched off.

Garage Door was opened or left open and the bikes were taken together.

Neighbor came home to find the garage door open. I went to retrieve the bikes but they were gone. I imagine someone has some sort of garage door opener that they programmed to get the door open. The gate and garage door were both locked.

The bike was parked outside Montrose Beach for Wavefront Music festival during July 4th holiday. The bike was straight across from the entrance amongst many other bikes that were locked up. My friend and I decided to lock both of our bikes together to the metal fence with a kryptonite ulock and chain. The chain went through both wheels and frame of both bikes. We came to find that there was no trace of bikes or lock, or damage to fence.

Who ever stole it saw the opportunity to steal two, it was also locked to my boyfriend's hybrid Trek and both are fairly new.

Someone broke into the bike room and cut the cord that acted as the post for locking the bike frame to. The bike and the bike lock were gone. The steel cord that acted as the post was completely sawed off to disconnect the bike.

Locked the bike outside for the day at 7AM. By 9AM I went out back and it was gone. Railing had been pried off the vertical poles with a crowbar from the looks of it. Bike and lock were then slide off the railing. Bike was visible to the back alley that has a fair amount of metal scavengers.

Bike was in my apt storage lock while I was on vacation out of the country. My roommate discovered it stolen on Monday morning.

I went into a store in the local, a store that I frequent often, to make some purchases. I was in there no longer than about 15mins. I've always parked my bike inside of the store, near the front door unlocked because I'm always only in there a short time. This time I wasn't so lucky because someone must have been watching me while I made purchases at the counter. When I went to exit the store, I saw my bike was gone. I went outside and asked some gentlemen that were standing out there if they saw anyone walk out with it, of course their answers were "no".

Bike was locked in bike rack at Monroe and Columbus outside the entrance of the Taste of Chicago.

My bike was locked outside while I was eating dinner at a restaurant. I came outside and there was no evidence that the bike was ever there; no lock, no damage to bike rack. Shouldn't have relied on cheap cable lock.

We just moved in and are still organizing things in the apartment where I intended to keep it. I had left my bike in the garage thinking it'd be safe to keep for a day or two. I just fell off it the day prior since some dude didn't see me while he was turning, so I walked to the Metra stop today instead of biking. I think it was still in the garage as of at least 7am today since my girlfriend remembers seeing it when she drove off. This probably isn't making the most sense but I'm pretty frantic right now and I think you get the gist. What probably happened is someone left the garage door open and saw it there prime for the picking. Filling out police report first thing tomorrow morning.

The bike was locked in a sidewalk next to Millennium Park. When the bike was locked to the bike rack, there was just 1 bike there. And when we went back and the bike was not there, there were 3 bikes locked to the rack.

Bike was stolen out of locked garage between Sunday night and Tuesday in the middle of the day. There were many other bikes in the garage which were not stolen.

Bike was taken from fence outside area of Wavefront concert on Montrose beach. Where was the security?!

Bike was locked with hundreds of others at Wavefront Concert on Montrose beach. Where was security?!
