Newly purchased Mongoose hot shot was removed from a locked gate yard after 8:30 AM Tuesday.

It was my girlfriend's bicycle locked to the pipe in the storage room. It seems like an inside job.

Went into my work building to grab keys (I'm a dog walker, needed keys for dogs' homes). My co-workers and I all leave our bikes out front when we go in to grab keys. When I came out, only my bike was stolen.

Used the bike daily. Last used on 4/9 and was seen locked up at 9:00 PM. Woke up the morning of 4/10 at 5:30 AM and the bike was gone. I had a cable lock going through both wheels and a U lock attaching frame to the bike rack. The U lock was found snipped and left at the scene.

Locked to rack in front of Treasure Island grocery at 1639 N Wells St, just north of North Ave. Locked with a kryptonite cable, along with two other bikes in high pedestrian traffic area, due to not having u-lock key with me. Cable was cut. My bike was sandwiched between the two other bikes. Outside bike was left, not stolen. And inside bike did have ulock through frame to bike rack, and was not stolen.

Locked up my bike at 8:45am.

My wife and I went down to Lincoln Park Zoo, locked our bikes out front, went in for 60 minutes, and when we came out they were gone. Both of them and hers is a brand new Nishiki , black with some hot pink. (She bought it on Thursday). Picture is of my wife's bike.

Husband left garage door open when he left to pick up dinner, both of my bikes were stolen in the 30 min time span. My road bike (Orbea) was still wrapped in bubble-wrap from our move. The thief rode his bike directly into our garage (we have him on video and can see him clearly), threw my lock (which was loose around the seat) under a cabinet in the garage and unwrapped all the saran and bubble wrap off the bike before riding off on his bike with it. He returned on foot less than 3 minutes later and proceeded to ride off on my Trek commuter bike (baby seat on the back and all). We think he lives in the neighborhood and saw that the garage door was left open.

Bike was left unlocked in front of car in detached Condo garage. Garage having issues with door opening randomly (suspect that a nearby neighbor has a similar frequency/code). Door opened during the day and bike was taken from the garage

The bike was locked to the 2nd story porch at my girlfriend's apartment. The thieves would have had to see it through an alley, go through a private gate, and then up a flight of stairs. Once they did that, they broke the deck in order to remove the bike with the lock still attached to it. At around 12:30pm I went outside to go to work and found the damage to the deck and my bike and lock missing.
