Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I had driven out of my garage to go to work at about 7:15 a.m. I waited outside the garage until it closed (as I do every time) and did not come back until 10:30 p.m. that night (it was a long day for me). When I initially entered my garage through the back door, the door hit the bike. That is how I knew it was there. When I came home and went to exit through the back door of the garage, the bike was missing. At first I thought my father-in-law had taken it for a spin. I checked with him and he hadn't used it in months. I ran back down to the garage and saw that the cable lock that was used to lock the bike to my wife's bike (which was still there) had been cut. My wife's bike has an On Guard Bulldog U Lock between her frame and the front wheel. I'm not sure how the person got into my garage, which I believe to be locked and closed during the day, but they got to my bike and left without a trace.

Bike was locked up to a standard city bike rack over night (about 8 hours) on a snowy night and was gone in the morning. No idea why.

I always kept my bike on the basement of the building I live in as there are other bikes on site, and someone lives in the basement. I had the bike for over 8 months and always kept it there, I don't usually go out through the basement during winter and I only go down when doing laundry, that is when I realized my bike was gone and was the only one that was stolen. The entrance is usually locked and I find it weird that my bike was the only one stolen, making me think it was somebody that knew the bike was there.

I kept my bike in a garage with an automatic door. I thought the door had been closed, at which point only someone with a code could have entered. When I went to check the next day it was gone

My bike was located in my detached parking garage which has access from the alley. The garage doorway (human door not car door) is locked at all times and the alleyway only has access to the garage door. I share this garage space with 3 other cars (it is two, two car garages) and it seems that one of the garage doors was left open. Again, there was no forced entry through the locked door and it seems like the car garage door was left open so thieves just walked in.

The Rossin was locked in my garage with the other bike that was stolen. The door was forced open; the deadbolt splintered the frame. The thief(s) came in from the alley and appear to have left from the alley (no tracks in the snow leading to the front of my house).

The bike was in my locked garage (dead bolted) and stolen between Sunday Mar 2, 5:00 PM and Monday March 3, 4:00 PM, likely during the daytime on Monday as there was another theft in my neighborhood Monday afternoon. The side door to the garage was forced open (door splintered, frame cracked, etc.) and the bikes were taken.

Bike was in an office building hallway- self locked with chain. Building accessed through keycard only. During business hours.

my home was broken into on the southside of chicago they stole my bikes and many more valuables from me and my family the bike was sitting in my room.

My home was broken into on the south side of chicago. they stole lots of famiily valubles including my road bike. the bike was just sitting in the livving room area.

Garage door was left open and someone snagged the bike. The picture included is of the same bike but slightly larger than the one stolen. Bike will respond to the name "Big Red" if called.

Entered locked storage room in the rear of my apartment building with key (no sign of forced entry). My bike was gone. I had had it locked (older u-lock w/round key) there during travel/the polar vortex for a month unfortunately, so I'm not sure exactly when it was taken.

When I tried to use bike to go to work, it wasn't there, there was only fresh tracks on a snow.

Bike was locked to the fence around our patio. The bar it was locked to was kicked out and broken to remove the bike along with the lock.

Garage was possibly broken into. Two bikes were stolen, one was recovered after I found the offender.

Back of building was broken into, thief entered residence and stole multiple bikes and gear. Track marks down back of alley away from home. In the Bucktown neighborhood.

Above time is when the bike was discovered stolen (actual date/time of theft unknown).

Bike was in buildings basement. We have had some issues with the gates for this area but ive always locked it and figured that it was a lesser known area of the building. bike was locked to a cable around a 4" drain pipe using a kryptonite u lock. Thief cut cable. I suspect this was planned as it was a clean cut and my bike was the only thing taken from the space. My thoughts are either it was someone in my building or someone who was aware of the gate situation and had been waiting for an opportunity to take something.

I'm very sure that I locked it to the bike rack, but the cable I used was somewhat old--though it should've locked the bike optimally. The only thing I can think of is that the lock's cable was cut and whoever took it, took it all with them. It was locked at the railing above the Midway Mart at the corner of South Campus 6031 S. Ellis Ave. I guess some distinguishing characteristics of the bike is that I've installed a flashing tail light under the seatpost, as well as a lock mount above the crankset. If stolen, those would probably not be removed/noticed.
