Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

It's been a bad week for stolen bikes at Turin... :( As mentioned above, we had a smash-and-grab occur on Wednesday the 17th at around 4:30am from our shop at 4710 N. Damen. They only took one bike but it was a doozy; a brand new Alchemy Eros Ti road bike with FFWD F6R carbon clinchers, DA 9000 11sp shifters and derailleurs, Rotor 3D F compact cranks, Thomson support and a yellow Fizik Aliante test ride saddle with the word "Test" in bold, all caps print. I'm pretty sure its the only one in the Chicagoland area (though I doubt its still in Chicagoland) so any one claiming to have come by it legitimately is obviously full of it.

My bike was in our basement,that's where i keep it all the time, wooden door with a lock, few hours later the door was broken and the bike was gone! Nothing else was taken from the basement just the bike!

The bike was in the backyard placed out of the way, the person had to walk through the driveway and the back yard to find it. It was with two other bikes that were also stolen. The other bikes were more expensive, schwinn racing bikes. People were walking up our drive way because the garage was getting painted and asking for scrap metal or just looking around.

The bike was on loan to a customer who'd locked it to a bike rack by Millennium Park. They left the bike unattended for approximately an hour and when they returned, the found the bike missing with their cable lock defeated on the ground.

Painting garage floor left bike in backyard while drying

Bike was locked to a wall mounted holder in garage using a u-lock. Some got into our garage, used a ski pole then a piece of wood for leverage to pry the entire mount from the wall.

Painting garage floor put bike in fenced in backyard stolen.

Locked my bike to a rack outside of the LVAC on Broadway, went to grab some food at Brazilian Bowl two doors away, came back and it was gone.

Bike was in a storage room that is locked. The room is full of bikes, none are locked to anything but themselves my bike was the only one stolen. If someone left the storage room open somehow its possible for someone off the street to find their way through a back gate, find the room open and take my bike out, but it's unlikely.

Parked bike outside of Chase Tower at approximately 6:30 a.m. Did not leave building to discover it missing until 3:00 p.m. so exact time of theft unknown. Building security currently searching camera footage. Stolen right in front of rack at entrance in daylight with heavy pedestrian and automobile traffic at all times during the week. Electric bike by Prodeco - fairly rare in the Chicago area to owner's knowledge.

I parked my bike as usual on the sidewalk in front of the Old Town School of Folk Music at 7:50PM. I headed to my guitar class then back out to my bike at 9:45PM and found it missing along with the flat key U-lock. The picture depicts exactly location where I parked and exactly how I locked it. I took this photo a week earlier.

Sometime between Monday evening (7/15) and Wednesday lunch-time (7/17) bike was removed from where I've been locking it outside my apartment building; 2 other bikes are locked to the same fence and are still there (others may be missing, there's usually several in the same location, but not sure of how many)

Was at Hollywood beach had bike next to where I was sitting went into water for a couple minutes came back and it was gone

My neighbor left the garage door open and the bike was stolen from my enclosed garage.

My bike was locked out in front of my apartment. It was only the second time I had left it locked to the railing. Someone cut the lock and stole it, leaving the cut lock behind.

Bike was located on the corner of Rush and Huron locked to a bike rack in front of the Omni Hotel. Security cameras indicate that the male rode up on a bike, left his bike and rode off with mine. My lock was still there and unharmed, not sure if the lock was put on properly or else it should not have been so easy to take. Confirmed the bike was there at 3:40pm cameras show the male stealing the bike at 4:10 pm and I left work at 4:30 to find it missing. The bike is an off white K2 mountain bike with a black design with a cloth basket on the front. Am still looking for paperwork to find a serial number, bike was purchased from Sports Authority 2 years ago. Bike is in perfect shape.

I think that someone had been scoping my bike put for a few days because i go to the summer camp and we meet at the Starbucks.

The bike was in a locked entryway and was most likely stolen because workers where going in and out of the apartment.

Bike was stolen from a locked back yard area secure to a metal fence. An African American Male approximate age 40-50 with greying hair, average height(5-7) and build wearing a grey tank top and dark shorts hopped over the locked fence presumable cut the lock and grabbed the bike. The bike was in the yard for 5 min prior to being stolen. We saw him ride down the alley, however because the gate was locked he had enough time to get away while we tried to unlock the gate. We saw him proceed down Wood St. towards Chicago Ave. where we lost sight of him.

Bike was last seen on Friday July 12 at 5:00pm, found missing on Monday July 15
