Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I had gone to see a movie at Music Box Theater at 7:30 p.m. When I came out at 9ish, the bike was still there. We decided to get a drink across the street. Though it was night, it was Saturday and people were walking around and businesses open. When we came back at 10:20, the bike was gone without a trace. It must've been someone who was quick and discreet to get through my cable lock. Very sad not to have my LeMond!

Just locked it up while I was packing groceries up to apartment and came back to nothing. :(

Bike was secured with Kryptonite cable lock through bike frame and front tire to rack on north side of Western brown line stop at 9pm, and both bike and lock were missing when I returned at 1:30am.

I locked my bike underneath the back yard porch at 2630 W Evergreen at about 10:30 pm, locked only to itself with a Kryptonite U-Lock attached to its frame and back tire. I left the residence at 1:30 am with the wooden door to the back parking lot wide open and my bike missing. No suspicious characters, next door neighbor said something inaudible as I was walking in the property with my bike.

I left my bike within a locked gate behind the apartment building. I usually lock it to the fence but was planning on leaving again soon. I was inside my apartment for 2 hours and when I returned the bike was gone with my helmet and u-lock which had been in the back crate lying on the ground outside the gate. Courteous thieves!

I locked my bike on the west side of Kindred North Hospital to the "no parking" sign closest to Montrose Ave [bike was on Rockwell Ave] at 6:55am and went inside to work. When I came out of the building at 4:30pm, the bike was missing and half of the wire lock was left on the ground. Bike is in excellent condition, has a rear bike rack with a collapsable black basket on the right side of the rack. There are pieces of twine attached to the basket. I had not made any other significant alterations. The bike has not been in any accidents, and aside from some light scratching on the lower edge of the frame from my u-lock, there are no other scratches or dents. [was not aware a bike rack os located on east side of building in parking lot, and u-lock key was with other half downtown.... sadness]

The thief came up my stairs in the middle of the night and stole the bike from the balcony. Broke the fence to get it with the lock (newer u-lock w/flat key).

My bike was in a locked private garage. I think that the garage door kicked back open after a car left and someone walked in and took it.

Left the bike locked to the bike rack. It was on a super busy street in front of the lincoln park bourdwalk cafe. went to get lunch. was gone for 30 min.

I locked my bike up to a metal railing/fence on the side of the Jason's Deli building (there wasn't a place to lock it up in front). I placed a to-go order and was gone for, at most, 15 minutes. When I came out, I saw that my bike was no longer on the railing/fence.

I was eating at noodles and company on Broadway (near Diversey and Clark) when I saw a cut my cable lock and take off with my bike. I chased after him briefly but he continued to head east down Diversey. The theft was male, African American, tall, wearing a tattered gray sweatshirt and pants. In between 30 or 40 years of age. I could see that he had short cornrows.

Lcoked bike up outside of Village Cycle entered store and returned 45 minutes later to bike missing. :(

Thieves brazenly scaled 7' fence and stole two bikes in six minutes. Caught on tape and posted on youtube.com -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYVBMpcjhrQ

Bike was stolen from inside a locked garage. Side door to garage was kicked or bashed in, breaking door frame. Old mountain bike in very poor condition was left at the scene. Police officer's guess is that this was probably stolen, too.

I locked my Bicycle up at the upstairs Bike racks of the Belmont Blue Line Stop(around 9:00 am). I then went to work via the train. When I came back to the Bike racks after work (around 5:30 pm) the bicycle as well as the lock was missing.

Thieves scaled our 7' fence and stole two electric bikes on Saturday August 19. We have surveillance cameras and the whole incident is caught on tape. The tape is posted on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYVBMpcjhrQ&feature=plcp

I had my bike stolen this morning (Wednesday, August 22nd) between 8:10am and 9:00am. It was locked on a pole with a Kryptonite U-lock on Milwaukee Ave. and Haddon in Wicker Park. It is a 2010 Trek Soho. It is slate black. I have the serial number for it. I purchased it at Village Cycle on Wells, and it probably still has that sticker on it. I had the handle bars cut so they are around 3 inches on each side. I had a Planet Bike Beamer 3 LED light on the front, and a red Planet Bike light on the back of the bike. I also had a black kickstand added to the bike. I'm not sure how the bike was stolen because the lock was missing along with my bike.

My bike was stolen sometime between 3 am and noon on Aug 22nd. It was locket to a iron fence with a combination cable lock

I lock my bike BEHIND a security fence at the back door of my apartment. I locked it with a heavy Kryptonite security chain, through the frame and rear wheel, around the largest support post of the fence. The chain was cut and the only evidence was a single broken link left behind. I think someone did not ensure that the security gate was fully closed, and that the thief was able to come around to the side the bike was locked on and cut the chain. Bike has front and rear reflectors as well as an led taillight. I discovered it was stolen when I got home this afternoon.

i keep my bike in a locked back common area where all my neighbors porches are. i park the bike under a porch and out of view from the back entrance, and while although it was locked to itself, they stole mine and left 2 unlocked bikes beside it untouched.
