Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I had it locked to a tree at Millenium. It was at the end of Washington, in plain site of people eating at the ice rink. Someone might have blocked this sight while another clipped the coil? Millenium needs a better bike rack system! One with free tickets and enclosed

I saw how the theft occurred because the security guard at Target let me watch the security footage. The offender is a white male, roughly 140 pounds, with nearly shoulder length brown hair. He was wearing a red football jersey with white numbers, either 10 or 42 (I cannot remember which), and brown khaki shorts. He carried with him a back pack which had in it a circular saw that he used to cut my bike lock. He had with him a lookout, and this person stood on the corner and watched for cops while he stole my bike. He walked up to my bike at about 9:50 and it took him roughly 4-5 minutes to cut the lock. He rode south down Broadway on my bike. I have seen him before, and even saw him cut the lock off another bike using a circular saw. He will cut a lock in front of lots of people, and the Target security guard says he has done this multiple times before.

After riding my bike, around 6pm locked it to street sign with a U-lock. In the morning when I looked, sign had been cut from the bottom and placed on the sidewalk. bike was taken with locks intact.

Locked bike at intersection left it for 30 minutes when i returned it was gone and they left their junk bike in its place unlocked.

Kryptonite Cable Lock was cut

My bike was locked to the deck support for our three story deck (12x12 wooden support) it was locating inside of our locking 8ft tall fence and locked to the support, the 3/4" thick cable lock was defeated and taken with the bike. No other things were stolen, another bike was sitting next to it, untouched. This should be a unique bike in that it has the frame for an offroad bike with road tires on it, the Marin Alpine Trail comes standard with wide off-road tires. Scumbag thief must have used garbage cans in the alley to jump the back gate.

Left my bike locked to a metal fence outside my apartment around 9pm. It was locked with a Masterlock U-lock. Came home at 1am and it was gone. Both tires and the seat are fixed and cannot be removed without the key that I have. There is a black basket on the front of the bike that is locked to the basket-holder with a Bell pad-lock. There is a City of Chicago sticker attached to a part of the frame with the city flag on it. This is my main form of transportation to and from work. I had previously registered this bike with the city and I have filed a police report. Please, please bring back my bike!

THE ONE AND ONLY TIME I FORGOT MY KRYPTONITE MINI LOCK, I LOCKED IT IN A RACK TOGETHER WITH MY FRIEND'S BIKE USING HER USELESS CABLE LOCK. SUNDAY EVENING, BROAD DAYLIGHT, BUSY STREET, LOTS OF BIKES IN THE RACK.WITHIN 90 MINUTES THEY CUT CABLE, TOOK MY BIKE, THE BUSTED LOCK AND BOTH HELMETS AND LEFT MY FRIEND'S 10 SPEED BIKE BEHIND TO STEAL LATER. COULDN'T BE SEEN WALKING TWO WOMENS BIKES & HELMETS DOWN THE STREET--THAT WOULD CALL ATTENTION.

the bike was inside my friends apartment, but right outside his door. i am friends with everyone in his building so assumed it would be fine...the bottom door may have been left open and some one off the street may have come up stair and jacked it.

My bike was locked to the fence behind our automated gated parking area. The gate must have somehow been left open and my lock cut.

I think the door to the apartment building was open, and someone snuck out with the U-locked bike.

My bike was locked to a bike rack just outside Comer Children's Hospital, the area is pretty well traveled, but there are no security cameras on the bike rack area. It was there when my husband left work at 4:30pm and when I went to get my bike at 7:30pm, it was gone with no evidence of my lock anywhere. I believe someone stole it during a thunderstorm, when no one else was outside on the street.

My bike was put away in the basement of my apartment building which is locked so only tenants and maintenance people can enter at about 6:30pm 8/1/10. Sometime between then and 8/6/10 my bike was stolen along with my roommates bike and several others from our basement.

bike was locked with a U-lock to a chainlink fence inside my building's front stairs area. theif cut the chainlink and removed the bike with the lock.

I was returning from a bike trip and one of my roommates placed my bike in our locked basement but the bike itself was not locked up. The bike was placed in the locked basement on the evening of Sunday 8/1. I did not check on the bike until Friday evening 8/6 and noticed the bike was missing. One of my roommates also had a bike stolen from the basement. Since the basement is locked (and there was no damage to the lock) it would be more likely that it is a tenant of the building or a maintenance worker of the building, but I would hope that people would not want to steal out of their own building.

The bike was secured to a no parking sign. The signpost may have been loosened and the entire bike, lock and helmet were taken. This occurred during the Cubs game, between 11am and 3pm.

I was in Chicago visiting my son from Cleveland. I locked my bike in a bike rack on the sidewalk in Milenium Park right at the end of Washington St. a couple of hundred yards south of the Founders Wall. We crossed the street to go into Walgreens and Dunken Dounts. When we came back the bike was gone. If you are taking the time to read this THANK YOU.
