Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I locked the bike alongside other tenants' bikes on the front gate of our building at night. Went outside to ride my bike the next morning and it was gone, along with the loke.

Im thinking that the lock was cut because it was crappy, which is my fault.

Bike was stolen from the garage

I left my bike locked up the a tree in front of my apartment at 875 W. Lill Ave #C1 in the Lincoln Park. I was wondering if maybe the city took it because it was locked up the a tree on the side walk...

I locked the bike up on a rack by the logan square blue line station. I think they cut the lock and took the bike.

Bike was stolen during the night. The Atlantis is not a common bike around here. The stock color is blue/green so this custom paint job would be extremely rare.

Taken from garage in Edgewater/Andersonville

Garage door open for garage cleaning in process. Left garage unattended for five minutes while in back yard. Two bikes stolen at same time. Woman's small Fuji Absolute 3.0, Lavender/silver ICF7F00650 in addition to this Grove Sport. Both bikes have attached locks and under seat packs. Bikes Stolen by experienced bike thieves- they must have been trolling neighborhood ally's over the Labor Day Holidays. Garage door is not exposed unless thieves are looking for vulnerable opportunity.

I was mounting my bike to my car roof rack. Took off the front wheel to mount the bike. Drove off without the front wheel. By the time I got back to the alley East of Hoyne it was gone. I think that one of the kids that play in the alley from the Section 8 building nearby may have seen me drive off without it. The picture is my Rear wheel I still have.

Bike was locked inside trash gate to a wooden fence. Wooden fence pole was pulled loose through board.

Bike stolen from my house garage

Someone cut through the lock and took the bike.

My bike was inside of a locked garage. On the morning of 9/1/2013 my landlord came into my apt and said the garage had been broken into and everything had been stolen out of it.

Bike was under a stairwell in an enclosed back yard with high walls and locked gate. Stupidly it wasn't locked but I thought the space was inaccessible. However this bike is probably unique in Chicago so please do keep an eye out. It's black with only the back rack on. http://donkybike.com/specs/ [Admin note 12/6/2019- former victim writes: <<<<A guy contacted me a couple of days ago saying he had just recovered it from the basement of a restaurant in Wicker Park. It had been left there by an old kitchen worker who never returned. Your page had my number so he was able to text me. - very grateful for that. I collected it yesterday. It's a bit dinged up but ridable.>>>> ]

I locked the bike up to itself because there was nothing to lock the bike up to. I used a u-lock in combination with a cable. The u-lock was used to lock the front wheel to the frame, and the cable was used to secure the back whee to the frame and u-lock. While locking up, a group of three hispanic men with two pick-up trucks were present, working on one of the pick-up trucks, apparently trying to get it started. I left the bike to take my kayak on the river for a few hours. Upon return a few hours later, my bike was gone with no evidence of the lock or cable being cut, and both pick-up trucks were gone. I suspect they just picked the bike up and threw it in the bed of one of the trucks and drove off. The area where the bike was locked up is in a gated yard with one key-code lock entry gate to get in.
