Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Rode bike into alleyway, parked in front of garage, walked around to open garage through side gate, opened garage door and bike was gone, along with Petzl helmet and headlamp that was resting on bike. Lock was not engaged. Total time was less than 10 seconds. I should have known better...

Left my bicycle unattended and unlocked for about 10 minutes while I stepped inside, when I was back it was gone.

Bike was locked to bike rack where other bikes were also locked in secure garage of apartment building [building is old Cracker Jack toy factory in Lincoln Park]. Bike had only been there for 24 hours. Owner is extremely upset, PLEASE RETURN or contact owner if you know or see anything.

Thief broken into Condo Building through two locked doors then took the locked bike from the bike room.

I had a pipe burst in my apartment so the maintaince man came over to fix it and left the back door to an enclosed back porch open. 2 bikes were actually stolen. My old landlord knows about the incident and took some money off rent to compensate for the stolen bikes

Locked it to a city bus sign which was planted into earth, not bolted into concrete. There were no pieces of lock anywhere leading me to believe that the bike was lifted entirely off the post.

Bike was lokced in front of the entrance of business building, last seen around 4:30 with another bike locked on the other side of the bike rack. Around 7pm that I was exiting the building in or there to get my bike an head home, that bike was no longer there. I think they migh have stolen it in that time frame...

I locked the bike to the bike rack in front of 300 S Wacker Dr building around 1PM and got inside. I was getting out to check on it perhaps every 40 min. When I did it around 4 PM it was gone along with the cable.

Bike was locked up Monday, July 23rd at 9pm. Owner returned Tuesday, July 24th at noon, and bike and lock were both gone.

Bike was in my shared garage. Left unlocked for 1 day.

Bike was locked up along with my 2nd bike, left alone, I locked it up where I always do when I get home from work and it was there all night until I went to bed around 12:30 at night, when I woke up the next day it was gone.

Forgot to lock bike to rack at night in locked backyard. Left at 11pm and woke up at 7am to find bike missing.

Bike in Locked Garage--Garage broken into.

I removed a Divvy bike from the station at Morgan & 31st Street at approximately 2:30 pm on Thursday, July 11th. I rode to work in Pilsen and returned the bike to the station at Blue Island Avenue & 18th Street at approximately 2:45 pm. When I returned the bike there were two gentlemen sitting on bikes in the station on their phones; I thought this was odd, but the bike locked in (i.e. the light on the station turned red) when I returned it so I didn't dwell on it. The next day I got a notification from Divvy (via email) that the bike was not returned.

Last time I used and saw my bike was on Friday, July 20. I locked it to the bike rack in the back of the building, as I always did. Today I realized it was stolen and I reported the incident to the management of the building immediately. They claim that that area of the yard is not covered with cameras. The bike rack cannot be seen from the street, and only residents and their visitors, as well as, obviously, bike thefts who regularly check the yard in search for new bikes, could know about it.

Bike hidden behind porch in between coach house and front house. I have been storing it there every night for over a year. Ride daily. Stored it at about midnight last night and it was gone this morning.

Bike was taken from outside my apartment door on the second floor of a locked medium-sized residential building. Not visible from the outside and behind several locked doors suggests that this was a crime of opportunity rather than a professional thief.

Had locked at bike at 111 North Lake Share Drive outside the harbour. When I came back after few hours the bike was gone.

Bike was locked to a big wooden post located under our stairwell. Someone walked into our backyard and cut the lock. Bike it only visible once you enter the backyard, bushes block the view from the alley. Last rode the bike around 3PM June 20th, went to check on it at 2PM June 21st and it was gone.
