Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I was helping a friend move into a new apartment. We were going in and out bringing things up to 3rd floor. We were never out of eye sight of the bike (in addition to tons of other things including an open UHaul) for very long. I feel as though someone may have been watching for an opportunity to snag it when we went upstairs. My helmet, which was in a rear pannier (grocery getter), was left laying on the ground.

Locked to bike storage area at the Jefferson Park Blue Line Station from 4:00 to 8:00.

I lock my bike underneath our front stairs practically every night unless the weather is foul. The bike is pretty much invisible from the street, unless you walk up 19th place (which has very little foot traffic). The U-Lock is attached to a secondary cable lock which is wrapped around a 4"x4" post on the front stairs. The lock on the cable was cut and slipped through the u-lock. So the bike is free but the lock still attached.

I returned home from work and placed my bike in the bike storage room of my building, as usual. I am unable to lock my bike to the rack due to the size/shape of my frame and the number of bikes locked to the storage rack. Only tenants and landlord have access to this storage/laundry room, but it is possible that somebody may have broken in through a window. I returned to the storage room at 9:30 to find my bike missing. My helmet and u-lock, which had been hung on the handlebar, were set on a sofa near where I keep my bike.

Bike was left in front of Harold Washington bike racks and was taken using bolt cutters around 2 pm.

Bike was locked with a carbonite cable lock to a bike rack by a parking area behind my building. I typically double lock my bike, and my u-lock very well could still be attached to the frame of the bike (I had it locked to the frame under the handlebars), but due to circumstances, only the cable lock was used on the night of the theft. As of Thursday, the bike had severely squeaky rear brakes and an empty front mount (black, mostly rubber) for a bike light. No locks or debris were found where the bike was stolen. The theft likely occurred after 10PM Thursday June 25th.

Left in yard for 10 minutes unlocked

I fell asleep on my couch in my basement when my dad came home from a business trip. he saw the garage door open and asked me where my bike was when he woke me up. this when we knew someone picked the lock to our garage and just walked out the same way he/she came in.

Bike was locked to a wrought iron fence, inside a gated and locked front yard. The thieves climbed the fence to reach the bike and cut the bike lock. It happened sometime between Saturday night at midnight and 6AM.

Bike was locked with another bike to the bike rack at 2634 N Milwaukee Ave in front of Blue Line train station (near Divvy bikes). Street was crowded and Milwaukee Arts Fest was going on. We locked our bikes at 4:30 pm Saturday, June 27, 2015 and by the time we came out of the Logan Theatre after a movie, my bike was gone. It was locked with a cable to my husband's bike, which was not stolen even though his bike is worth way more money.

Bike was under a deck, by a subgrade basement entrance. Two bikes locked to each other were in front of this bike, and the bike had a weather proof cover over it. Bike was unfortunately not locked to the other two. Cover was off bike and bike was missing.

They opened the garage and stole this bike together with other two. A white and blue Fuji road bike and a woman's specialized.

The bike was still locked to the fence at 2:00 am and gone by 9:00. The Kryptonite lock was clipped on the pavement, and no other trace of the bike remained. The bike locked next to it was left alone.

Bike was locked to a city bike rack in the 100 block of south State Street next to the subway entrance.

I saw the bike still locked up through the window of the yoga studio. I turned off the lights in the studio and 10 minutes later walked out to see my broken lock on the ground and no bike anywhere. There is not good lighting by this rack and it is near under the elevated blue line tracks.

I had not ridden my bike for a few weeks, but it was last locked up to a metal pole in the basement of my apartment building. I went to the basement to retrieve my bike today and realized it was missing.

Left home around 9am and returned at 11:30 am - Bike was gone. The Ulock was around a wooden pole. A cable type leash was fed through the U lock - through the front wheel - around a large supporting pole and back through the frame. Attached and the wheel and frame w

Bike was locked in a gated patio outside apartment, inaccessible from the street. Fence would have been hopped or gate left open to get to the bike, cable lock and extender cable both cut.

My bike was locked to a bike rack outside of the Logan Square Blue Line station. It had thick cable locks running through the front and back tires which were then locked to a heavy duty U-lock attached to the rack. The cable locks were the ones that were clipped, the U-lock was not touched. The bike itself is completely gone.

It was parked inside my residential building, the front door was not broken. The bike was not locked.
