Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

A friend borrowed my bike, rode it to the North Ave. Blue Line stop locked the bike there and took the Blue line. When she got back the bike was no longer there.

My bike was locked to itself with a U-lock in my locked apartment entryway, and was stolen on Friday night, May 8. I heard a party going on in the building that night, so a lot of people were in and out of the building. Saturday morning, the bike was gone.

After entering house through garage, the garage door was left open for a short time and bicycle was stolen from garage before the garage door was closed.

Stolen while locked to bike racks in front of Ela Public Library in Lake Zurich. Lock was Cut and a piece left at scene.

Someone stole my bike, most likely last night, from my garage. It's more of a shed than a garage, as it's lacks a wall in the direction facing the house. It's surrounded by an average height fence, over which I presume my bike was hoisted.

Pole was comprimised and while in a crowded location no one witnessed.

bike is blue with s&s couplings -comes apart for travel. This was a custom alteration and around the coupling area black paint was added and faded into the dark blue. Very unique bike.

Using a combo cable lock, my boyfriend and I locked our bikes together and then to a parking meter. Both were stolen with no evidence of the lock. His bike is a Cannondale Adventure 5.0(?) that is black with blue and silver accents. Both bikes were hybrids. Both bikes had on-board cyclocomputers but we removed the monitors after locking the bikes so if found, there's be base mounts for the computers but no monitors. We locked our biked up near Arnold's Deli at 4100 Broadway and they were stolen while we ate a quick lunch.

My bike was parked in my backyard in a residential location. I left it at 10 am, and when I went out to return to it at 11:30 am, it was no longer there. It could have only been taken by someone walking through the alley and peering into yards (it was not visible from our back gate).

The bike racks were full, so i locked my bike to the sign indicating the handicapped entrance on the south side of the train station. When i talked to the man inside, he said there was a chance that either the CTA, CTA Police or the city removed it as it could have been "blocking the door," which is also used for shipments. This is possible, as the U-Lock is new, was tightly secured to the bike through the frame, rear wheel and removed front wheel and the sign is not removable. Upon contacting multiple CTA offices, no one has it or could not help me (as of 3 pm, May 1). Any information regarding CTA/city policy for bike removal or on the whereabouts of removed bikes, or information regarding possible theft, would be greatly appreciated.

I was downstairs studying for first semesters finals when I went out for a cigarette and my bike was gone with the lock cut lying on the ground. i filed a police reprt and im look to find the report number.

I locked the bike up to a rack in front of the bulding at about 4:30PM. I came back out at 5:30 and it was gone.

The Whole Foods on N.Halsted is attached to a community center that provides services to all populations of peoples. When I arrived at whole foods, there was a group of younger men hanging around the entrance to the community center on the corner of Waveland and Halsted.

Brand new -- very cute apple green cruiser. The bike was delivered by Fed Ex on 4/28 around 10 a.m. Put together at 7 p.m. In the garage at 10 p.m. Stolen from the garage sometime between 10 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. Discovered missing at 7:40 a.m.

I had just brought my bike home after riding in the suburbs. I locked it up next to my car, underground, on the wall rack. The lock was through the front tire and frame. I came down this morning (4/28/09) around 10:30am and noticed it was gone. I just bought this bicycle, less than a month ago. It's a red and white Trek 3700 w/ front and rear plastic (detachable) mud/splash guards. It has a quick release seat and tires, Shimano shifters, and front shocks

I came outside to find the bike gone with the lock remaining on the ground locked around the rack that the bike was locked to. The lock was unharmed, my guess is it was picked. The street was very crowded on 4/24 at the time that the bike was stolen, so it must have been done quickly and professionally.

The bike lock was cut and left at the scene. There was another bike locked to the pole, but it was not stolen.

Rode the bike to robin richman for work at 11am, but saw it still locked at 6:30pm when a friend arrived to lock their bike. Went out again at 7:45 and it was gone.
