Bike lock was cut with a torch

Man walked up to bike rack, looked at bike for about 10 minutes. Once the area was clear, he cut or sawed the lock off and removed the bike.

Bike was locked to a rack inside the bike room of the apartment building. It was locked using a "Foldylock" heavy-duty Bike Lock. The lock was wrapped around the mainframe and bike rack. The lock was severed/cut/ground down.

I locked my bike in front of my apartment unit door. So they came in through the locked front door of the building and up three flights. I use a cable and u-lock combo to lock my front tire and frame to a pipe. The white Kryptonite u-lock was taken with the bike. The cable was cut.

I last saw the bike in our interior bike room of our condo in October 2021. I checked on it on 3/14/22 and saw it was missing. No evidence on how it was taken. The bike was locked to a bike rack. That rack was in a bike room which used to have a lock on the door - common access key that hundreds of residents of the building have - but the bike room door is no longer locked (handle replaced with non-locking version). To gain access to the room, you must be past building security with doorman or fob access (or tailgating). There are cameras all over the condo, but no news on if the condo management was able to see who walked off with it.

A man, of dark complexion, wearing a black / blue windbreaker, jumped over the fence at the alley and came into our backyard. He then opened the garage door, which was unlocked and took the bike. He appears to have tossed the bike back over the fence and left through the alley as none of our camera's picked him up accept for about 5 seconds

Have RING footage of (2) individuals brazenly climbed over our relatively secure alley gate (9 feet tall with anti-scaling bars, motion-activated light and camera, etc). Once in our common courtyard they "picked" the side-entry doors to our garages, stole several bikes, and returned multiple times. In one case, they used some type of power tool to defeat THREE thick cable locks. Damage was also done to a car in the process.

My red/black Nishiki Men's Anasazi Hybrid Bike was stolen from my back porch at approximately 12:45 pm.

My bike was locked in a closed garage overnight with a cable lock that was locked to the frame of the bike and a metal pole within the garage. Upon waking up in the morning, I noticed the door to the entrance of the garage had been broken into and the bike lock had been cut and completely stolen. Nothing else in the garage was touched other than the bike and cable lock being cut and the bike was gone.

Person with black hoodie and blue pants is seen walking in front of bike once and then bent over the bike for a short time then drives bike away.

Bike was locked with a U Lock through frame and front wheel to a bike rack outside Whole Foods on Kingsbury. a man selling Streetwise magazines watched what happened. He reported to me that a man with an electric saw, cut through the U lock and road off with my bike. I was shopping for only an hour.

We were in the process of moving and the bikes were stolen from the enclosed garage

I left my light blue Trek bike locked to a bike rack on 4410 N Ravenswood Ave at 12:00pm. I went to get lunch and do some shopping. I came back to my bike at 1:50PM and my bike was missing with my Bell Zip Tie Bike Lock cut and left on the ground. I asked witnesses around sidewalk if they saw the crime occur. They did not.

Bike was inside my minivan. I am unsure how they gained access to the minivan.

Bike was attached to a rear bike carrier on my car. car was parked in a secured lot behind my condo complex. thief must have jumped a fence and taken bike off car then out the front locked gate (only locked from the outside).

We were in the process of moving, we left the bikes attached to our car in the private garage, and we woke up the next morning and they were gone.

Person walked down alley checking every house, walked into ours and took our bikes off our patio.

Our bikes were kept under our covered 1st floor porch, enclosed by lattice fencing. the only way to see them is if you are in our yard or our back gate is left open. There is no way to see them from the alley or street. We last saw them around 830pm on 3/19/22, and then noticed they were gone at 10am 3/20/22. A neighbor heard a rustling sound around 1am 3/20/22 coming from that area.

The bike was gone after the night. The lock was cut and left outside of a trash can nearby.
