Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

my bike was left in the back of my building under the stairs over night on accident and poof next day it was gone.

My bike was sitting in the courtyard of my apartment building. Someone left our gate open between the hours of 7pm and 2 am.

I was inside 35 E Wacker Dr working security and my bike was locked up just outside. The location seemed good enough since it is a heavily trafficked area. It was there during daylight hours and disappeared.

Bike was stolen from in front of apartment building.

Bike was only ridden to the ravenswood train station once and was then stolen. I have a police report # as well as the serial # on the bike. If you have any idea where this bike may be, please let me know, and I will be happy to show proof of serial number and original purchase. I will be more than happy to pay a reward.

I've been working out at the Lakeview YMCA for three weeks now. I noticed there were other nice bikes locked up out front and it seemed like a nice neighborhood. Furthermore, there was security on site and cameras looking right at the bike racks. Anyhow, I locked the bike up at around 6:00PM and walked out of the gym at 8:15 only to find that my bike was stolen. I filed a report with YMCA security and they said they would review the security cameras.

i think someone cut the cable lock and ran away with my bike.

just stopped to grab a bottle of water, paid, and gone.

Forgot key to my lock and went into the Y briefly to drop stuff off and "fake" locked my bike by placing U lock on it in a crowded rack of bikes. Apparently not a very good trick as when I got out it was gone. Signed, Faith in humanity

someone came into are yard and cut the heavy duty cable

I found this bike, laying in my carport when I went out in the morning. I am assuming that it is stolen and was ditched for some reason, while the thieves were in our back alley. After calling 311 and the police, they were decidedly unhelpful and seemed disinterested in finding the owner and said I could bring the bike in to them (which I assume would mean that it would be impounded and forgotten unless someone files a theft report and is diligent about it. I thought I would try this and some other options before I turn it over to them in hopes of finding the owner as the bike looks like it is either new/well cared for. I am not a "bike person" but it looks like it is an average sized bike and does have a few identifiers and the serial number is on the bike itself!

Noticed this evening, bike was no longer there. Only 2 families share garage. Nobody sure when left open. Somebody saw an opportunity, ran in and snatched bike and evidently rode away.

Bike was in garage. Came out in the morning to see garage open and that bike was missing.

Am stunned due to the foot traffic and the fact that building employees are in plain view of the bikes.

Purchased in front of Star Lounge for $10, from a gentleman I can only assume was not the rightful owner.

Man across street noticed I had been looking at the rack trying to find my bike. Informed me that he had noticed several bike being stolen having the locks been cut. Thiefs took off south bound toward the UIC campus. One may have tried to get on the train.

My son locked the bike to a fence in the backyard of his friend's house. 30 minutes later, the bike and lock are gone.

My apartment was broken into and other items were stolen including TVs, oriental rug, jewelery and coats. Two cars keys were taken from the apartment. The bicycle was locked inside a locked garage. The thieves was the car keys to access the car and used the garage door opener to exit the garage, stealing both the car and the bicycle locked inside. Residents of the the building saw a blue minivan enter the garage by following another resident into the gargage but when confronted, left confusidly. This occured at ~1:00p. Another resident saw the car parked in garage at 12:30p but is was gone when the returned at 2:30p. The crime occured between 1:00p and 2:30p

I locked my bike in front of Giordino's and went inside to get an individual-size pizza. When I exited, no more than 30 minutes later, both the bike and lock were stolen.

The bike was in my garage and it was stolen when my garage door malfunctioned and opened while I was at work.
