Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Sometime in the past week (first few days of May) a new specialized sirrus hybrid commuter/fitness bike was stolen from our locked garage. The bike itself was stored at the back of the garage behind 3 cars, and hung from the ceiling, with a heavy duty bordo 6500 xplus folding lock securing the front wheel to the bike frame. The bike lock was stolen along with the lock. There is no other entry or exit unless someone is hopping a high, locked, gangway fence to get into the yard and then into the garage door through the back.

Bike was locked to itself with a U-Lock between the front tires and body of bike. Bike was underneath the stairs in the back yard of our three floor apartment building. Front gate and back gate were both locked. It was there on Wednesday, May 3, but no longer there when I went downstairs around 3:45 PM on Thursday, May 4.

My bike was locked to a bike rack at Chicago Park District and the Lake Shore Tennis Courts at the corner of Pearson and Dewitt in Streeterville.

Stranger was let into the building. Verifying video recordings of the incident with building management.

Sometime between 6 and 7 a.m. someone entered our garage and stole the bike. It was locked with an ARBUS lock. The entire bike was removed through the back door, which they left open. The lock was still on it. They dumped my helmet in the recycling bin at the back door - so there's that at least.

Bike locked up in front if Chase tower around 1. Bike stolen anywhere from 1-5.

Working at place of employment, bike was locked in front of the building. I went out at the end of my shift to go home and bike along with lock was missing.

Bike was locked in front of iO theater on Kingsbury. The u lock must have been sawed through because a piece of debris was left.

Bike was hanging on hook from rafter of back porch of 3rd floor corner apartment, and was missing the morning of 4/21. Person who took it had to bypass locked back doors of apartment complex or scale fence to get into complex. Rims on bike are more faded than in photo, pic is from new.

Bike was locked to a bike rack near the corner of Randolph and N Wacker at around 8:30am. I locked it with a U-lock through the front wheel, frame, and bike rack, and a cable lock through both wheels. When I checked on my bike at around 11:45 during lunch, it was missing from the bike rack and the lock was gonna as well.

I left my bike in my gated back yard behind a bush, so it was not able to be seen from the alley or the street. I am unsure how someone could have gotten in my back yard with the high fences and I don’t know when the incident exactly happened, but sometime between the morning of 4/19 and the evening of 4/23

Locked my bike to the bike rack right in front of the apartment complex and it was gone with two hours

I last saw my ebike when I parked it in my backyard yesterday afternoon. I secured the rear wheel with the rear wheel lock, and I removed the battery. When I went outside today, 24 hours later, my bike was missing.

I entered the bicycle storage room at approximately 5pm on Friday, April 21st in the NocaBlu building where I live at 2340 N California Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647. The storage room is secured and requires key fob access, which are distributed to tenants of the building. I had previously locked my bike in the storage room in approximately December of 2022. I had used my Kryptonite Kryptolok U-lock to attach the bike by its frame and front wheel to the metal bracket and cable that was mounted to the wall. When I entered the room on April 21st, my bike was no longer there with all of the other items that were locked along with it (pedals, water bottle cage, flat kit, helmet, and U lock). Nothing else seemed to be amiss within the room; I did not notice any wall brackets removed or cables cut upon examining the space.

Bike was locked to bike rack. When went to get bike around 2pm it wasn't there.

Happened between 640-820 am. Locked to rack with u lock through rear wheel. Cable lock on front wheel too. No trace.

The Schwinn was inside of a button-locked front gate, visible from the street. It was locked at 8 pm. By morning it was missing. A gray bike helmet was left behind.
