Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The bike was locked to the fence in front of the address mentioned above. It is a three-story, multi-unit apartment building. Some shady types were sitting in an idle car out front when we discovered the theft. I was away from the bike for two hours, during which it was stolen. Also stolen was a silver Trek 4400 mountain bike, locked with the green one in the same location. The bikes were locked with two cable locks and a U-lock, and a velcro strap belonging to one of the locks was found on the sidewalk leading up to the building at 3138 W. Logan, leading me to think that the bikes were brought inside and someone at this address has them. Many other bikes locked to the fence were noticeably tampered with, and a blue bike even had it's U-lock broken open. There was a street fest going on, and many many people were walking by. Our 2 bike helmets-locked with the bikes-were also stolen. One was silver with many flags and stickers on it, the other was a black Bell helmet with a Jamaican flag on the side with a light fixture on the front.

The garage door was accidents left open for a couple of hours. When we came back out, the bike was gone.

I had it lock with a stupid cable/padlock because my U lock was rusty. The guy saw it, either went home to get cutters or had them already? He took the bike, cable and lock? Locked it on railing under El, across the street from Merchandise Mart. Only $300 bike but it was fairly new.

Came downstairs, bike was missing.

I was at Fleet Feet Sports for a triathlon training group with Chicago Endurance Sports. The bike was stolen while we were out on a run. I locked my bike at 6:30 pm exactly. At 8pm when I left after the workout the bike was gone. I locked the U-lock around the rack and the cable through the back tire and frame. The lock was still on the bike rack and the metal cable had been clipped. I checked with every nearby business including the security desk in the main building but absolutely none of them have security cameras outside the stores. Apparently no one eating on the patio or the parking valet at the Adobo Grill next door saw or reported anything either.

stolen by cutting the cable and taking off of both tires and pole, before leaving with it. in Daylight, in front of businesses with windows, people all around....no one does anything.

I road my bike to work on the morning of 7-28-2011, I locked my bike up to one of the bike racks out in front of 303 E. Wacker Dr. Chicago, IL 60601 at approximately 8 a.m. I went to Bockwinkles for lunch at 12:30, I saw my bike locked up where I left that morning when I walked to and from Bockwinkles. I left the office on 7-28-2011 at approximately 6 p.m. As I was walking to the area where my bike was locked up I noticed that I did not see it, when I got to the bike rack where I locked my bike up that morning my bike and my bike lock were missing. I spoke with the security manager of 303 E. Wacker Dr. and he told me that in the last 3 weeks 3 bikes were stolen from the same area my bike was stolen from. The odd thing about this is that the security manager did not make an effort to notify the companies who reside at 303 E. Wacker that all employees should be aware of bike thefts in the area. He stated that the sidewalks are property of the city of Chicago and he is not obligated to inform anyone of the issues that take place on the sidewalks.

Bike stolen in front of Equinox gym, no witness.

My boyfriend and my bikes were stolen from our apartment storage unit... the thief ripped the wooden door off and must have carried both bikes away (because they were U-locked together inside). Any information would be greatly appreciated!

My bike was stolen from my closed and secured garage. The bike was not locked to anything inside the garage, however, the garage was locked. I last used the bike on the evening of Monday 25th July and noted it was missing that Wednesday morning.

I arrived at work around 8:30 and locked my bike in it's usual place on wacker and monroe. I locked it as i always do through the front wheel and frame, attached to the bike rack. There was even another bike on the other side of the rack when i locked it which also remained untouched after mine had been stolen. I realized my bike was missing around 11:30 because i almost always check up on it around lunch time. I asked around to street vendors and building security but no one was able to help. The rack is directly in front of a sprint store which was open at the time, i asked them too but they weren't to helpful either. The lock and the bike were both taken. It had to have happend sometime between the hours i showed up and ate lunch. I assume it had to have been stolen during higher traffic which would have been right after i arrived. The bike was in plainview from both sides of wacker, the corner of monroe along with the sprint storefront and any pedestrians on the block. If it was lower traffic many people would have seen, though i'm sure some saw but didn't feel it necisary to stop whoever it was that stole my bike. The bike was brand new and i just put descent money into upgrading the pedals and fixing the tubes. I did a quick patch job on the back tube before i left for work that morning and i wouldn't be surprized if that back tire was low or completely flat when the bike was taken. Any clues as to where the bike is please let me know. Thanks.

Someone left the garage door open during the day, where the bike was being stored unlocked. Unsure when the garage was left open, could have been as early as 8am or later in the day. Only the bike was missing when someone noticed the garage door open at around 8:30pm.

I locked my bike to the large wooden support for my porch in the gated back area behind my place. It was last used on June 26 at 9pm and I noticed it was gone the next day at 6pm. The thief did not take an accompanying bike that was locked to mine, nor did he take my helmet.

I locked the bike to a street sign in front of the Embassy Suites around 12:30 a.m. When I returned two hours later, the bike was gone. There was no sign of the lock or the bike.

Bike had both wheels locked to the frame in a private alleyway of my apartment building. It was not locked to an object, as there is no object in the alleyway to lock bikes to. The only way to get into the alleyway is if you have a key to the building, or a resident buzzes you in. The three other bikes regularly parked in the alleyway were not stolen.

Went inside to meet with someone about an apartment, came back outside and my bike was gone. Was stolen in the middle of the day on a very busy street in front of people.

(Photo is out-of-date, front wheel now has greep deep v. I U-locked the bike just to the rear wheel like AN IDIOT and the frame/front wheel got stolen. In front of Chick Pea Restaurant, Chicago just west of Damen, northside of street, locked to rack. Between hours of 10:30 and 3 a.m.

Bike was locked in my back porch. Another tenant left the gate open. It was gone in 20 minutes.

My bike was stolen.
