Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

My bike was stolen from my garage. The thief entered my back yard to enter my garage from the side door. The thief then moved aside a few cheaper bikes to get to my own, which was being stored hanging from the rafters.

I was at the UIC health sciences library and I was studying a street view window. I looked up and saw a guy walking west on Polk street with a bike on his shoulder and upon closer inspection I realized it was my bike. My bike was actually locked up right across the street and I looked over to the bike rack it was locked too and it was gone. By the time I ran out of the library and down the street I couldn't find the guy or my bike! I called the campus PD and they immediately searched the streets, but to no avail. The bike rack had clear signs of a cutting tool used to cut the lock.

Went to the garage to grab bicycle only to realize it is gone. Roommates left garage open. Last confirmed seen in garage on Monday, January 29th.

Someone saw the thief use a blow torch on the lock in front of 235 S. LaSalle st. at 2:08. Perp was wearing a hoody and couldn't be identified on camera.

The lock was picked and the bike hauled off.

Indoor communal garage area holding 8 cars + strollers and bikes. Someone gained access to the garage either through an insecure side door or by someone leaving a garage bay door open. Cars broken into, bikes and other stuff stolen.

Neighbor in the building discovered 2/4 bikes in the building storage area had gone missing. There are only a few condos/units in the building. Unsure how thief gained access to the building. Nothing else missing besides the bicycles. Incident could have happened between December 25-Jan 11

Bike was on 3rd floor balcony. Someone must have climbed a gate, then walked up 3 flights to back deck area. Went to bed around Midnight and woke up at 7:30 and immediately saw it was gone.

Our garage was broken into and this bike was stolen from the garage. This happened in the middle of the night. The bike had a lock stored on it as well as a bike bag under the seat.

Bike was no longer on porch when I went out to go somewhere, was taken between today and last couple days.

Woke up this morning to find that pieces of my second-story rear deck have been removed from the railing and bike and U-locks were missing

Left work late. Bike was not where I had locked it up when I arrived in the morning. Lock was an Abus Bordo 6000 folding lock.

Bike was hung upside down on the roof of our second story deck. Porch is hidden by trees from the street but can be seen from the alley next to the house, which is frequented by the homeless digging through garbage contains. Best I can guess, someone saw it from the alley and took it in the middle of the night. Bike next to it was locked to a pole and was not taken.

Bike was on rack in locked garage overnight. Went to the garage in the morning and it was gone.

I had left my bike in the back alley since the keys to my back gate did not work. I must have forgotten to bring the bike back in and lock it in my apartment building. I cannot be exactly sure when the bike was taken but the neighbors saw the bike in the back alley that night or the next morning.

Left my bike at Union Station as I went home for the weekend. Came back a few days later and the bike and lock were gone.

We returned from holiday vacation, in our locked, communal garage the bike was missing. No reports of the door being left open or forced entry. Unclear date and time of loss. Last seen 12/23.

Bikes were in our garage. Door had been closed upon leaving but perhaps something caused it to reopen after we drove off. Tenant above garage called us to let us know and then closed the door again.
