Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I have not used my bike since the fall and was going to ride it Monday night. When I went down to our bike room I noticed it was missing. The bike room is a locked room/area next door to the laundry room in my building. This room is only accessible in the back of the building. The back of the building is only accessible through each unit or through a gate leading in from the ally. This gate is locked too.

Bike was locked to car bike rack 1 night overnight.

I was practicing yoga at an outdoor yoga event on the Great Lawn at Soldier Field. My bike was locked up with several others on a rack near the port a potties by the vendor row right adjacent to the East wall of Soldier Field. When I returned to the bike area at 1 pm, my bike and lock were missing.

Bike was locked outside of Logan Square Blue Line stop to the bike rack facing Milwaukee/Kedzie. A group of 6 men were surrounding the area and one left a note under the cut lock claiming to know the location of the stolen bike including his phone number and tried to persuade me to follow him to Kedzie and Albany. He described my bike perfectly as he was trying to get me to follow him, noting that the handle bar grips were missing (recently stolen) as well as the color details, claiming that he sees me and my bike every day. Left the scene with note an broken lock, police report filed.

The bike was locked to a wooden stairway support pillar (very sturdy, concrete-mounted into the ground) in the parking area behind my apartment building and accessible from the alleyway. I left town for two weeks. Upon returning, the bike and the combination cable lock, which had been locking the bike's frame to the wooden support pillar, were both gone without a trace.

I hit the train tracks weird at Cermak and Loomis and fell reallly hard. Someone crossed the street to help me up. I was pretty jarred, so I was sitting on the ground trying to catch my breath. He checked to see if I was okay, asked for money, and then rode away with my bike. He is a white male in his late 30s early 40s. Probably 5'7"-5'11" 150-180 pounds.

The bike was locked up at 9:00 pm and was discovered missing at 7:00 am.

The bike room in the building was at some point left unlocked and my bike was just taken from it because it was unlocked and easily accessible

Leaned bike against back porch while unloading bags inside and came back to find it gone.

My bike was locked to a secure fence that many other people also lock to. Because it was cut with an angle grinder I have a feeling that it will get stripped, but my frame is the only one I have ever seen in the city so far and the other elements of the bike are unique to it (see picture).

Bike was locked to metal fence next to house. Metal pole was bend and cut to remove bike.

I walked out of my apartment at 417 West Roscoe, and the bike lock was laying on the ground cut through cleanly. There was another mountain bike, silver, laying on the ground, brake cable cut in the back. Seems like the person cut my lock, dropped their bike, grabbed mine and rode away.

Bike was locked up around 7:20 am in front of a business building. Got a call at 8:15am from the front desk security of the building letting me know that my bike was gone. The front desk security had stepped away from their desk to open a back door, and when he came back noticed it was gone and called me because he sees me riding in everyday. The first floor of the building is all open windows, and I always lock it where it is visible for the front desk to see.

My garage was broken into and tools and the bike were stolen.

Left my bike at the front door of my apartment while i parked my car not even 2 min latet it was gone

Locked my bike up in front of my work on Randolph street in the west loop from about 1pm until 12am, bike was gone when I left work.

My bike was only locked through the front tire onto a bike rack. The frame was disconnected from the front tire.
