Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I locked my bike to the rack outside the east entrance to Regenstein Library on the University of Chicago campus at 8am. It was gone when I left work at 4pm

I store unlocked bike under the porch stairs in my locked fenced in yard. Around 3:30pm I saw an older black man in a long sleeve black shirt with a grey backpack riding my aqua retrospec bike in front of my house on s. Greenwood ave. I immediately recognized my bike because it is girly and has a distinct black basket- and I hollered after him "What the fuck, I can see you!" I did not see how he broke into the yard, but heard the gate clang as he left. I ran out and saw all of my belongings from the basket scattered in my yard. He turned left onto 65th st and turned south down the alleyway between Ellis and S Greenwood. I used a divvy to try and catch up and find my bike, thinking he would throw it because I saw him steal it, and also it is notorious for popped tires and riding down the alley would be risky with how flat the tires are right now. By the time I followed him, I lost him. A mail lady may have seen turn down 68th street. I uploaded a picture from when it was new. It no longer has a yellow basket or like-new shine. I am on a new set of handlebar grips which have ripped on the end and slide towards the center. Its a little rustier looking, and says retrospec in white on the base. It has a wide brown cruiser seat seat which has a water stain, and doesnt move up and down, which is why he looked a goddamn fool and caught my eye trying to ride it. Please help find it, I am a poor grad student!

On 11/16/23, the victim reported that the bike had been recovered: "Yes, actually [the CSBR] played a pivotal role. The way I found my bike was a guy saw the listing on OfferUp 3 weeks later, and he got suspicious that the price was so low. So he searched the registry and saw my entry and then texted me, I then confirmed it was mine. I set up a meeting to "buy" the bike with the thief and brought the police and got it back quickly. Thank you guys for the service!" [I store my bike in my house's closed garage. The thief hopped my yard fence and entered garage yard door in rear of garage, that door was unlocked. Bike was not locked to anything inside my garage.]
