Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Wife left for work at 5pm and apparently left garage door open (open to Schiller Ave.)... I discovered that the door was open and that the bike was missing. Three other bikes in garage, nothing else taken that we can determine.

My bike was locked in the interior courtyard of my apartment complex near May St and Grand Ave. It was locked to a metal fence, which was cut and bent to free the bike and lock. It looks like the fence was cut with bolt cutters - there is a ridge in the center of the cut, and then kicked out to bend it. All of this must have been done very quietly, as I was up working late only 10-15 ft from the place it was locked.

When I came out to retrieve my bike, it was gone from the rack. There was no sign of it nor the Abus U lock.

Bike was left locked to bike rack at Palatine train station at 7:30am on morning of 10/17. Upon return at 6:00pm, found lock cable cut and bike missing. Other bikes were in the lot and some others with same quality of lock.

Broke into side door, opened garage door and took bikes. Grainy video footage available showed 2-3 men riding bikes out of the garage down the alley towards Addison Street. Four bikes in total were stolen in this garage theft. Besides the Schwinn, the bikes taken were: +Gary Fisher, Small, Dark Blue, Mountain Bike, 14 years old +Trek, hybrid, medium, dark blue, 10 years old +Trek, Hybrid, Dark green, large, Planet Bike front and rear fenders, rear bike rack, 15 years old

The street sign pole that it was locked to was ripped out of the ground. Bike was taken with U-lock on frame and cable through both wheels.

Been out of town since 9/27, so unsure of exact date of theft

The thief probably cut the cable or maybe figured out the combination. It could have been stolen at any time of the day from Friday-Sunday October 11-13.

My bike along with my girlfriend's bike and another person's bike were in the vestibule near the staircase leading up to her apartment. The locked door to her building has a buzzer for entry and the buzzer malfunctioned and was continuously buzzing (which we did not notice). The person who took my bike was able to enter the building due to the malfunction on the door's lock. One week since the original post: "On a walk with my dog, I found my bike lock. It was neatly placed on a column outside of a building located in the 4800 block of north Paulina. I took my keys out and tried the lock, and sure enough it was my lock.

Opportunistic, eagle-eyed thief spotted my less than stellar lock. Cut and ran.

I forgot to lock it up, and someone jumped the fence in the back of my building and stole the bike.

Bike was last seen at 12pm on 12/14. As I was going to get my bike to go to work I found it missing at 2pm on 12/14 from the gated side walkway at my apt building.

Bike was locked on the corner of lasalle and van buren an At about 745 pm. I returned at 840 to find just my lock, still attached to my front wheel.

I was at Lincoln Park Zoo for the afternoon. I locked it to a bike rack right at the entrance of the zoo. We were only there for about 2.5 or 3 hours. When we came back to get our bikes, my lock had been cut and left on the ground and my bike was gone. All of my roommates bikes were still there.

Bike was stolen from the back entrance of my apartment.

came home, locked my bike. Left to get my bike to ride to work- it was gone.

While I was in class (3pm-6pm) my bike was stolen. The lock and all. This occurred at around the addresses 916 and 910 S. Wabash. I'm guessing they smashed the combo lock and just took everything with them.

Bike was on a guard rail along Route 12 in Richmond IL for 5-7 minutes.

I locked my bike and helmet at the location around 9:30am on Oct 14, 2013. When I came back around 3:30pm, nothing was left.
