Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

bike was stolen from our detached garage.

I locked my bike to a rack with one other bike on the sidewalk in front of the Roosevelt University Auditorium Theater at about 1:00 pm on Thursday, Aug 27. I came back around 2:15 to find the bike gone and lock cut, but still there.

I had just riden home and left my bike below my back porch in our gate enclosed back yard that is not visible from the alley. When I came back outside shortly thereafter, my bike was gone and the gate to the alley was wide open.

The bike was not locked but in an inclosed and locked courtyard area. In order to get in a key is needed but the area can be unlocked from the inside. This is the normal place where my bike is stored. The weirdest part is that who ever took it had to walk past about 10 other bikes to get to mine. I am not sure when it was stolen as I was out of town this weekend.

i left the bike locked to the guardrail @ 120 s riverside @ 8am. the previous day, bike racks had been removed and relocated to adams st. without the racks avail, i used the guardrail. i returned to the location @ 3pm to find the bike missing. is it possible it was removed by the city?

I went into the chicago school across from the merchandise mart - i locked my bike with a new kryptonite u lock to a railing/fence through the front tire and frame. I came down for lunch and it was still there, I came back from lunch and it was gone within a 45 minute window. The lock was left on the raiing/fence closed. I have no idea how they got it off. It is a brand new bike and I need it to get to school.

I lock it up in the same place every day, near the same bikes each time. I think someone had his eye on my bike and just decided they wanted it. There wasn't anything special about the incident, unfortunately. I rode it to work, locked it up, went to work, came back and it was gone.

Bike was missing seat as I took it off before incident. Was chained to an unsafe object and cut away with lock still entact...Totally my fault. Really loved this bike, though, so if you see it, please contact me ASAP.

I have a locked inclosed back porch on the second level which I use as bike and fabric storage. Someone, my upstairs neighbor, left the door unlocked after I left my apartment around 10:45am. My boyfriend arrived home @ 1pm and noticed my helmet was sitting on the floor but my bike was gone. He called me asking why i was out biking without a helmet. When I told him that I wasn't on my bike we realized someone had taken my bike. This bike was my first ever road bike and my boyfriend and I put a lot into it. Please help me find my baby. If found I would definitely be willing to offer some sort of reward or compensation. Thank you.

Believe the bike lock was cut with bullcutters as it was left at the scene. Locked outside less than an hour outside of a friend's house in a residential area. There were several other bikes in the area.

Usually there are about 4 bikes parked outside my building. Today I went downstairs and there were none, and mine was definitely one of the none. Honestly not sure what time of day it happened, but it was there yesterday.

Left my bike in my backyard where I've kept it for more than a year. Got up to go to work and she's just gone. No trace. My mood darkens.

While people were home at my apartment, hanging out upstairs (we have a duplex), someone entered the lower floor of the apartment, where the door was apparently unlocked. My bike was just in the downstairs living room area, and the thief removed the bike from my apartment. Attached photo shows the bike before I put different handlebars on it. It currently has straight, short bars with blue Oury mountain bike grips. Also, the seat on my bike is different from the photo, but I'm not sure what model seat I had.

I had my garage door open and unattended for, literally, less than 1 minute and there was a gang of guys outside in my alley who must have come in and rode off with my bicycle. They were hanging out across the alley at the Pritzer School on Damen (my garage backs up to the alley that is along the schoolyard of Pritzker). By the time I came out and realized that my bike was missing, I asked some guy in the alley if he saw someone on a bike ride by he said that the guy literally just rode off and turned the corner. I hopped in my car, but couldn't find him. He rode off toward Humboldt Park.

My bike was stolen!

I locked it to a railing across from Duffy's Bar. When I returned later the next day, the barricade was gone, so I assume a city official has my bike. It was securely locked, so it had to have been taken along with the barricade, which was previously chained to a fence.

went to bally's at webster place and bike was missing when I returned an hour later

Bike was locked to railing outside of Crown Hall at The Illinois Institute of Technology main campus (several other bikes were locked to same railing). I was in the building approximately 2.5 hours from 9 am.
