Awaiting Security Camera Footage

bike was locked with u-lock to bike rack, plus a separate cobra cable lock was used to lock wheels to bike rack. Looks like U-lock was cut with an angle grinder. Looks like cable was probably cut with bolt cutters.

Bike was stolen sometime between 12:45 PM and 6:45 PM. I used the Kryptonite New York Standard U-lock, locking the frame and front wheel to the wave-style rack along the Chicago River at 100 S. Wacker Drive. I double check the lock each time I lock up so it was definitely locked and secure. I did find a piece of rubber sleeve but it looks like the sleeve that goes around the lock holder on the frame and not from the lock itself. Other than that, there were no other pieces left.

Bike was locked inside house storage room. Someone pried the lock with a copper pipe. Attaempted to get away with 3 bikes but left 2 a block down the alley. Cannondale is still missing.

I keep my bike on the 2nd floor landing of the inside of my apartment building. It isn’t locked inside the building, because it’s inside, and the front door locks. It was there when I came down the front to let a friend up, but when i went down the next morning on monday the 20th it was gone. It was stolen sometime after 4pm on Sunday Jan 19th from the inside of the building. The front door needs to be pulled shut, and sometimes people forget to do it in the building, so i think the door must have been not fully closed and someone was just able to get in that way.

My bike was in the locked front room of my apartment complex. It has been there since July 2019. Both my bike and my boyfriend's bike have been there for a long time, without a problem. Today, when my boyfriend left the house at 8AM the bikes were there. When I returned home from a workout class at 2PM, the bikes were gone. Our janitorial crew came in around 10:00AM and the bikes were already missing. Stolen alongside boyfriend's Giant Escape 2 Disc bike.
