Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was parked inside a roped off area at the Chicago Full Moon Jam just south of Foster Ave by the lakefront. Bike flipped upside down, along with several other bikes, within the roped off area, right next to expensive performance gear. Gear not taken, just bike. Bike was in place at 10:15pm. Organizers began taking down rope barriers for area and bike was gone by 10:30. Another bike, parked right next to mine (black, thin frame) was left in place and not claimed by anyone by the time all organizers were ready to leave & park nearly empty. It's possible the owner of the black bike took mine by mistake, but also likely owner of black bike just forgot about it. Black bike i being held by event organizers.

Bike was locked to bike carrier in a crowded open air parking lot near end of Wright ride this Sunday. Left bike for approximately one hour, when I returned the bike lock cable was cut and bike was gone. I immediately filed a report with Oak Park police.

2 bikes stolen from the garage- garage door may or may not have been open. Neighbors saw garage open. found closed when we arrived. Neighbors saw 2 caucasion males with long blond pony tails ride off on them.

The bike was locked to a street sign next to Reza's restaurant. It was there for about a week, but I checked on it every day since I live across the street. I saw it there yesterday afternoon. The lock was cut and left at the scene with the helmet.

bike was stored in garage. Garage may or may not have been open. Bikes were stolen from the garage around noon. Neighbors saw 2 caucasion males with long blond pony tails. 2 bikes were stolen from the garage.

Bike was locked to my back porch, which is in an enclosed locked area. Someone from the complex either cut the lock and stole it or someone climbed fence and took it. Bike was stolen without seat.

I locked my bike up to a fence at work, went on my lunch break at three, walked outside and it was gone. Thief left the bicycle he was riding prior to stealing my bike unlocked and at the same location I had locked my bike.

I was tanning at the lincoln beach my bike was probably stolen when i was swiming

Bike was in garage, strung up on ceiling rack not visible from alley. Theoretically garage door was locked, gate to backyard was locked, entry door to garage was locked. I saw "theoretically" because garage is shared with neighbors so it is possible they were negligent in locking up if they left later in the day.

Neighbor in apartment complex possibly left large locking gate open, and someone walked past gate, down enclosed ally and under stairwell where bike was hidden.

Someone broke into a residential garage and stole our FIVE BIKES including this one

On August 19, 2013, I left my bike locked next to Blue Line Entrance on Division in front of CVS, west side of Ashland Ave. 1200 block. I left it a approximately 5:50am and returned to location with it missing at 3:00pm.

It was locked in a busy area in the Gold Coast, right in front of the Intermix store at Delaware and Wabash (the bike was on the West side of Wabash). The pic I'm attaching is just a generic pic I found online. My bike has a black seat and had a U-Lock rack on the vertical frame.

I had the bike at my workplace and was selling it on CL, no one knew where it was. Someone must have walked into the shop and walked out with it. Funny thing is that I have $1000's in tools all around the bike but only the bike was taken.

Bicycle was locked with a cable and padlock to a freestanding bicycle stand. No damage to stand, and remains of lock are missing along with bike. Five other bicycles were stolen from the same garage at the same time, some locked and some not. Probably thieves had a truck to load all the bicycles onto. Theft happened in the middle of the day when people were at work, not sure how they gained access to the garage.

I set my bike down on the sidelines of s rec soccer game next to 2 officials watching the game from a small tent on the sideline. At halftime, as soon as one official stood up and took a couple steps onto the field, one of the lingering teenagers hanging by the field was gone on my ride. I chased on foot and confronted his friends, who lied to my face for about 20 minutes and left me standing outside some weird highrise in the end of a culdesac on W Eastwood Ave just West of Clarendon.

It was out there last night unlocked for a few hours and I realized it was gone. Whoever took it also took another beat up bike that has been sitting under my porch since I moved in, didn't belong to anyone in the building to my knowledge. That bike is a dark blue vintage Schwinn cruiser.

Bike was stolen out of a building garage off of a standing bike rack along with 4 other bikes some time in the middle of the night. Clearly someone broke into or snuck into garage when garage door was open.

Locked the bike to a bike rack located adjacent to the exelon parking lot entrance area and across from the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a somewhat hidden from public view which allowed the thief/thieves to remove the cable lock and steal my bike.
