Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was locked at Milton L Olive Park in the loop. Locked around 12:15 PM, returned around 3:45 PM, lock was cut, bike was missing.

The bike was hanging on a bike hook on a secluded back porch. Accessible only by going behind a garage and through a gate.

Bike was taken from the back yard

Stolen from the gated back courtyard in the middle of the night.

Locked to rack in laundry room at 8:00 pm, gone by morning. On 11/7/2021 the victim wrote: Your site was the reason I got my bike back. Approximately 3 months after the theft, which occurred on my birthday, our hero, M.U. was walking down Birchwood, between Sheridan and Greenview, at 7:00 a.m., and he found the bike wrecked and abandoned on the sidewalk, a usb cord tangled in the front wheel’s spokes. He recognized that it was a valuable bike, so he was immediately suspicious that it had been stolen. He made mention, and somebody steered him to your site. He fixed up the damage, called me, and I went to his place and got the bike. The thief removed the two water bottle cages, the toe clips, some reflectors, and also a few stickers. The bike remains otherwise in excellent shape. THANK YOU AGAIN! Not only did I get back my touring bike upon which I rode across Cuba and love very much, but M.U. gave me a reason for a rare occasion to not be utterly disgusted with humanity.

I recently saw my bike that morning @ July 21, 2021 at the staircase at the back of my house on Francisco and Devon. My bike went missing within the last 6 hours from 12-9pm. I always checked up on the bike and made sure nobody could be able to steal. Left the bike in the back staircase of my building. Well lit area at night.

I locked my bike to the tree right outside the entrance I use to get into Guidepost Montessori at Wicker Park (my job). It is right across the street from Big Star and next to a Divvy Bike station.

I left my bike on my porch as I walked to my sisters house which is just a few houses down, we talked for about 20 minutes and when my brother went back to our house my bike was gone.

In preparation for a morning ride, the bike was locked in the back porch (which is accessed by going through a gate between buildings), to a set of stairs. The bike was locked for less than 12 hours. Lock was hammered and cut, and left behind, along with the helmet.

My friend and I was riding to Target to get somethings, the location is 1154 S Clark St, Chicago, IL 60605. We locked our bike near the front of the entrance that has the intersection and bridge, but there is this sort of hallway/sidewalk trench kind of area where there was a security camera with no lights. The area was very nerve racking and suspicious as many people were looking and witnessing some form of illegal activities both in store and out. Arriving at the Target roughly 7:30 pm and spending 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minute I saw my bike stolen. The combination lock was broken on the inserting piece and that was what is left of the area.

Not sure when this happened - I was looking for my bike July 19th at 9:50AM to find it missing along with a lock. The picture attached is a bit older - it does not show the added fixation pedals and straps. I've attached stock photos of those for reference as well.

Accidentally drove away from my garage leaving the large door open. Neighbor alerted me at 745a that my door was open. Son's bike was still there (recent purchase), mine was gone. Mine was closer to the door and easier to take quickly.

Wife's bike locked to mine in a locked garage .. went to ride them and they were gone.

Bike was locked to another bike in a locked garage.

I locked the bike to the rack around 7:30 pm on 7/17/21 and left for my overnight shift. When I returned in the morning, the bike was gone.

Bike was locked right outside of Millennium Station Friday July 16th 5PM. I was gone longer than expected and discovered it missing on Sunday July 18th.

Parked right outside of Jesse Brown VA, locked to one of the bike locks.

Blue bike with two child seats taken from garage

Happened in front of the jewels on 87th by the Dan Ryan.

I went into the Xsports at 230 W North Ave. at 5PM July 13, 2021 and came back out an hour later and my bike was gone.
