Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

At 3:19 PM I was coming down the escalator in the Whole Foods at Belmont and Ashland, and through the windows I saw a man lifting my bike in to the back of his white pickup truck. The truck drove north up Ashland, and I chased him on foot. I was wearing clip-in bike shoes and had a heavy backpack, which slowed me down, but I probably couldn't have caught him anyway. The white pickup truck seemed slightly older, I didn't get a good look, maybe 10 years old. The man had dark hair, dark facial hair, he was racial ambiguous, with light brown skin. The bike was locked to a large light pole. A cable lock went around the light pole and front wheel, and a u lock through the frame and rear wheel. It was only locked up for 30 mins. I called 911 to see if a patrol car in the area would keep a look out, but dispatch put me right through to non-emergency.

Bike was stolen out of locked garage overnight. Overhead garage door was found wide open this morning when bike was discovered missing. Garage is off of alley.

Bike was taken between 8:00 pm 9/9 and 7:45 am 9/10 from residential garage. When I went to the garage this morning, the overhead garage door was wide open.

The bike was taken from the Illinois Institute of Technology campus, at the south side of the Life Sciences building. I parked the bike here around 9:50 AM, and by 4:15 PM the bike was gone. The bike lock was missing, which may mean the thief had a master key for the brand. I'm a large person (6'5" tall) and the bike is large as well. Recovery Notes: Recovered. It was at the Swap-O-Rama flea market at 4100 S Ashland Ave. I had given a statement and was going to get a report number today, but we've fortunately resolved the issue. The lights were taken but everything else is still in place.

Unlocked my bike from my friends bike to change his inner tubes, locked my bike back up to the bike rack, went a way for 10-20mins and it was gone.

Just found out that the bike was stolen, not sure when it was taken. Unknown time and date.

Bike was fully removed along with lock. Exact timing of left is unknown.

Stolen from outside the Logan Square Blue Line Station

Bike was locked in the bike corral next to two other bikes at the Morse train station (north entrance). I left the bike at 7pm and got on the train. I got back to the station around 10:30pm Other two bikes were there And mine was totally gone.

Theft occurred sometime between 2pm-6pm. Thief removed bolt from street sign base so it could be lifted out and bike removed without cutting lock.

My bike was secured in my back porch area that has a tall wooden fence and locked door to it

I locked the bike around 11pm, retrieved it at 1:30AM, then relocked it in the same location around 2:30AM. When I returned to it at 9AM, it was missing. I believe someone must have cut through the lock to steal the bike. No sign of damage to the fence or the other bike that was locked to the same fence.

The bike was in the back of my car. The car was entered into and the bike was stolen.

My family had come to Chicago from Michigan to ride bikes along the Lakeshore. We parked and locked our five bikes with multiple cable locks. The bikes were locked to each other and the bike rack at the east gate entrance to the Lincoln Park Zoo. We were in the zoo for approximately 2.5 hours. When we returned, one of the cables had been cut and one of the bikes stolen. The other four bikes were not taken, but a small bike pump strapped to one of the bikes was taken.

Bike was locked in my car parked outside of a business with no windows. Street is a less than half a block away from residential buildings, however, street is fairly secluded/non-busy. Sometime between 10:00pm and 6:30am my front passenger window was shattered and bike was taken from the back seat of the car.

Bike was locked to a metal fence through the frame and front tire, in a locked enclosure. Both doors to the enclosure were locked last night, and both were unlocked and open this morning. Lock was cut and left attached to fence. Building is mixed use, with four businesses occupying ground level. I believe whoever stole the bike was either affiliated with one of the other tenants or one of the businesses. No signs of forced entry.

The bicycle was stored unlocked short-term on a second story porch near the Norwegian American community garden in Humboldt Park. The theft occurred sometime after Fiesta Boricua ended around 9 pm on Saturday, September 2. On the same porch there was one other bike also unlocked, but it was not stolen.

Locked bike on a bike rack at around 06:20am in front of Kimball Brown line CTA. Came back around 06:00pm and it was gone with the combination lock.
