Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I had my bike stolen this morning (Wednesday, August 22nd) between 8:10am and 9:00am. It was locked on a pole with a Kryptonite U-lock on Milwaukee Ave. and Haddon in Wicker Park. It is a 2010 Trek Soho. It is slate black. I have the serial number for it. I purchased it at Village Cycle on Wells, and it probably still has that sticker on it. I had the handle bars cut so they are around 3 inches on each side. I had a Planet Bike Beamer 3 LED light on the front, and a red Planet Bike light on the back of the bike. I also had a black kickstand added to the bike. I'm not sure how the bike was stolen because the lock was missing along with my bike.

My bike was stolen sometime between 3 am and noon on Aug 22nd. It was locket to a iron fence with a combination cable lock

I lock my bike BEHIND a security fence at the back door of my apartment. I locked it with a heavy Kryptonite security chain, through the frame and rear wheel, around the largest support post of the fence. The chain was cut and the only evidence was a single broken link left behind. I think someone did not ensure that the security gate was fully closed, and that the thief was able to come around to the side the bike was locked on and cut the chain. Bike has front and rear reflectors as well as an led taillight. I discovered it was stolen when I got home this afternoon.

i keep my bike in a locked back common area where all my neighbors porches are. i park the bike under a porch and out of view from the back entrance, and while although it was locked to itself, they stole mine and left 2 unlocked bikes beside it untouched.

Locked bike up to tree outside apartment, went to ride it in the morning the bike was stolen with the lock sitting next to the tree, the lock had been cut through

I rode it to the gym and locked to the bike rack in front of the building. When I left the gym about an hour later it was gone.

Bike was chained to a metal fence on Damen Ave. overnight and was missing in the morning.

It was locked outside of Union Station but on the property of Fifth 3rd. Bank. They left nothing behind. The security officer from bank came out to see if i was ok...i was crying like a baby. i wanted to ask her to review security footage but i was too upset. I also used a blue/red bungie cord to secure the bike from any movement...it was real tight.

I locked my bike in the parking lot of the Clybourn Metra station at 6:30am. There's a bunch of bike racks underneath a shelter. When I returned at 6pm the bike was gone and a new bike was already parked in its place. Half of the lock was on the sidewalk. They had cut through the U lock just under where it connects to my bike when it's stored for riding.

Locked in front of Lill St. Art Center, in front of which there are usually people. Had a 10 am class. Bike was gone when I came out at 1pm.

I parked bike on sidewalk at 7:00 am. and went in to building to go to work. The building opens at 7:00 am. The parking attendant arrives around 8:30. He stated that when he arrived he saw my lock on the ground. So the bike was stolen sometime between 7 and 8:30a.m.

I got off the bike and was standing inside a doorway to check an email. A guy rode up tossed his bike and jumped on mine. He was down the street and I couldn't catch him on foot.

BIKE WAS LEFT IN BACKYARD OF OUR HOME, UNLOCKED. YARD & BIKE IS VISIBLE THRU FROM FRONT OF STREET, THRU WIRE LOCKED GATE, LOOKING DOWN SIDE ALLEY OF PROPERTY. BACK GATE WAS NOT LOCKED, SO THIEF MUST HAVE SEEN BIKE FROM THE FRONT, GONE BACK AROUND THRU ALLEY ENTRANCE & ENTERED PROPERTY THRU UNLOCKED WOODEN BACK GATE. WE WERE AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY FRI 8/3 6PM-1AM, SAT 8/4 3PM-12AM, SUN 8/5 1PM-12AM, THEFT WAS NOT DISCOVERED TIL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY MORNING & COULD HAVE GONE MISSING ANYTIME THAT WKEND.

The bike was stolen while I was at work.

Locked next to lower house door. Was there an hour before I noticed it was gone. I might have accidentally not locked around the bike.

The bike was hidden between the stage and trailler with a ladder and tools in the way. I was working the festival and didn't have time to watch it 24/7 and when I was packing up the trailer to leave, I noticed the bike wasn't there. At this point, I took a quick look around, but it was nighttime and it was nowhere to be found.

Locked it up when I got home from running errands. Went down the next afternoon to go out again and discovered it missing, another bike locked up in its place.

I was inside Yoberri ordering my smoothie and I turn around to check on my bike and it was gone. It was in my view most of the time except for when i was ordering so the thief only had a 10-15 second window. As soon as i saw it was missing I looked around but the thief was gone.

My bike was locked up with my boyfriends bike on our back porch inside an 8ft gated courtyard area. The bikes had been locked up there for 2 weeks. I last saw the bikes around 8pm on Friday August 17th when I came home for the evening. The bikes were locked up right next to our open bedroom window on the porch. In the middle of the night someone must have jumped the fence, cut the lock, took the bikes and walked out of the courtyard gate with them.

This is the second bike of mine stolen from my building. The first was a purple peugot mixty. I didn't lock it and sort of felt like that was my bad. Three weeks later, my brand new se lager was taken with it's lock on it. There are many bikes around my building that are self locked. They are all older, beat up moutain bikes and mine were nicer road bikes that are more sought after and easy to care off even with a locked wheel. I fell like this was done by a pro-bike thief that knows the worth of my bikes.
