Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

At around 12 pm, I left my schwinn s-25 mountain bike, all new with a basket on rear rack, behind the building at SW corner of Cicero and Peterson (in the parking lot). I didn't lock it as I was feeling that it was pretty hidden and there weren't many poles around. After spending an hour and a half in Physical Therapy, I came downstairs to find nothing left but the helmet. Even though I only had the bike for less than a month, it left a gaping hole in my heart.

I left my bike U-locked to an iron fence, the fence had been clipped through and the bike was gone. It is the bike in the background of the picture. Sorry for the low quality.

My bike was ripped off of a picket fence.

I bought my husband a bike for his birthday and gave it to him last night. My son and him rode to school this morning. When my husband got home he left the bike on our front porch, unlocked, for an hour. The bike was taken from the front porch. Asked all of our neighbors if they saw anything and they did not.

Black and silver Trek Bike with red lettering, purchased in 2006

Bike was locked in front of our apartment, next to other bikes. Both other bikes had a U-lock, mine had a cable. My bike was brand new (less than 10 days old) and looked it - so I assume that fact, combined with the cable lock (instead of a u-lock) led to mine being swiped.

I locked my bike next to two other bikes that were locked together in a ULOCK. I had my cable running through my front wheel, frame, and my boyfriend's frame. ((Admin note: Victim entered bike model name as " Ventrella " -- no evidence found that this is a valid Jamis model name.))

Bike was stolen in broad daylight while I was studying in the library, between the hours of 10 am and 1pm on Sept. 13th. Lock and bike helmet were missing as well.

The bicycle was in our detached garage. Someone must have gotten in through the door in the backyard. The garage door was closed.

I had locked the bike around 8.30am in the morning at chicago board of trade's bike rack on the vaburen entrance. Security guard say they have seen him on the camera. They say it was stolen around 10.30am but I could only realize it in the evening around 5.30pm. Please give us any information if you happen to see the bike. Thanks

Left overnight at the station.

The bike was stolen from the hallway of my apartment between 9pm on Tuesday, Sept. 14th and 7am on Wednesday the 15th. No forced entry was evident and my downstairs neighbor had their apartment broken into with no forced entry, so the theif likely had a key.

Bike stolen from bike rack. Probable that the lock was cut. [Ed. note-- spotted being rolled around s. side flea market on Sunday 9/19 but unable to reach owner and seller could not be found again.]

The bike was left for a few days. I had a flat tire and parked it front of Kozy's to come back and get it the next day and get the tire fixed. I was ill most of the week and returned to find the bike gone.

My biked was locked to bike rack on the South side of the Ravenswood Metra station, right on Leland Ave and Ravenswood. I locked my bike at 7:30 am and noticed it was stolen at 7:30 pm.

Went shopping and came out, bike and lock missing

Bike was locked outside of an El station, in a well lit, high-traffic area.

I arrived at Ashland and Foster at 6pm, cabled my front wheel & U-locked my back wheel and frame to the bike rack. When I got outside around 9:30pm it was gone, along with the lock and cable.

My son locked the bike up at a bike rack at the NE corner of Lake and Scoville 9 (Oak Park) between Pilgrim Church and OPRF High School at about 8:50. After school (3:00) it was missing and all the other bikes were still there. Apparently it was the nicest bike and this person defeated the lock and took it. He reported it to School security and they asked him to bring in more information about the bike today so they can a Police report . Will update with number of police report when I have it.

The bike was inside a secure area, and stolen with another bike. The other bike that belonged to my roommate has been returned all ready. Things that have changed since the photo: I cut the changed and cut the handlebars shorter, so they fit my hands only, not anything else. I still have the bars pictured at home. I painted the rims black, but the paint was chipping off of them. I added the green chain described above that locked the seat to the frame. The new seat post & clamp were glossy black, so those are similar, but not the ones in the photo. I also added the horn. There was a rear reflector, and a "Mayor Daley's Bike (Authority?) light" on the back. The tires were relatively new gator skin tires, and had been reinforced with some older bike tires, so that they were twice as thick. The Front tire tube is new, and the rear should have a few patches.
