4 or 5 young people were writing with sidewalk chalk right near the area it was stolen from really late, maybe they were lookouts while the thief did his thieving.

Bike was stollen from the locked storage room in our apartment building. Cable lock is also missing

We drove bikes last Sunday. We did not check on them until 30 minutes ago. It was in a locked building in a locked storage room and looked to bike rack along with another stollen (filed separate report).

Bike was stolen from sidewalk in front of apartment. I heard the lock get cut, ran outside and chased the person. I caught sight of the person riding the bike two blocks south and saw them turn onto Paulina and then Milwaukee going northwest before I lost sight. When i got back to where it was stolen, I noticed that the person had left the bolt cutters used to cut the lock on the sidewalk. I filed the police report over the phone, and then got into a car and headed to look for the bike. In the car, I caught sight of the person going north on Wood (two blocks west of where it was stolen). This was about 15 minutes after the bike was stolen. I called 911 while following the person and told the operator where the person was heading. The person was chased onto North ave., then north on Hermitage, east on Bloomingdale and then north on an alley parallel to Hermitage before the person was out of sight. At that point I was off the phone with the operator and was told to wait in that area for an officer to show up. I talked to two different officers at that intersection before heading back. They said they would keep a look out for the bike.

A few friends of mine had a party at their apartment in Wrigleyville and my brother and I left our bikes an a hallway within the apartment. Many people that we didn't know showed up, and the bikes were stolen from the apartment around 1 AM, as people started to leave. I've talked to multiple people who were there but I've had no luck, filing a police report tonight or tomorrow. The bike may be around downtown or the Columbia campus.

I was at Ribfest. I locked my bike around 2 blocks North of Irving Park rd on Damen. The bike was locked through the front wheel and frame. When I came back to get my bike after attending rib fest I found the parking sign that the bike was locked to was pulled from the ground and bike gone.

Left bike in front of house for ten minutes to check on a job site. Came out and it was gone. Someone must have come upon it, saw that it was unlocked, and just rode away.

We had put two bikes on bike racks in (what we thought) was our secure townhome complex parking garage. You need either a garage door opener or key to enter the garage. We had just recently moved here and locked two bikes together through the frames - the cable was cut and both bikes were stolen.

Two bikes were locked together. We had mounted them on bike racks in our (what we thought was) secure parking garage. You have to either have a garage door opener or key to enter the garage. We had a pretty heavy duty bike lock through two bikes - locked through the body of the bikes. The cable was cut and both bikes were stolen.

The bike was in the locked basement, someone must have left the basement unlocked.
