Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Went into CVS for a Minute Clinic appointment. Locked bike next to parking meter box, to a bike rack steel U pole bolted to ground. Wrapped lock through front and rear wheels and frame to pole. Removed all accessories except for mounts described above. Appointment lasted for about an hour and a half. After appointment was over, came to discover bike was gone and no evidence of lock was found. Asked CVS and Jewel Osco (directly across from the CVS on Southport) if they have cameras pointing out to the area I parked my bike and they said they do not have cameras pointing in that direction.

Stolen from street sign between 9:30 p.m. and 2 a.m. Thursday evening. Street sign physically removed from the ground to take bicycle. Absolutely devastated. Please please help!

Bike was stolen directly out of my garage between 3pm-4pm on July 14. Suspect then rode it over to On The Route Bikes on Lincoln Ave. to fill up tires and the bike was quickly recognized since they work on it. Suspect knew he was in trouble and fled on the bike. OTR mentioned suspect has been in before to buy small stuff so they have no record. It is believed suspect is in Lakeview area.

I locked the bike up in front of my dance studio at 6:00p, taught class for an hour, left around 7:35p and my bike was gone. Cable lock, someone must have clipped it. Tons of other bikes locked up at various places on the street, all with U locks.

Ran into the store to grab a quick drink came out a couple mins later only to notice the bike was missing.

Parked at rack at side of building at 8:30AM, locked both wheels and frame to rack with cable lock. Returned to rack at 6 pm, found bike missing with lock left behind, cable severed near the lock. Filed police report with university police.

The bike was U-locked securely to a city sign last night when I walked past it around midnight when I left to go downtown today around noon, the bike was gone, my friend's bike was on the ground lock still on it and I noticed the bolt, nut and washer from the bottom of the sign were also lying on the ground. I was up past 2am and could tell people were still walking around and since it is so close to a busy street like Broadway, it had to have happened much later in the night.

The bike was in the middle of my back yard. We have security lights, and dogs (who were probably inside the house at the time). The thief removed the clip on the gate, unlatched it, stole the bike and closed and re-latched the gate. The last time I saw it was Sunday evening (7/10) and I noticed it missing on 7/13 at 7 am. It may have been metal scrappers or kids.

No idea how it happened.

somebody replaced a screw on the latch plate of the security gate so it would not latch properly. then took two bikes mid morning yesterday.

Light green, 1970s, Motobecane Nomade, was stolen from in front of 1805 North Milwaukee Avenue. It was leaning against a fence unlocked when it was taken around 7pm on Tuesday July 12, 2011. The bike is fixed gear, has a black, semi-straight head tube with tan tape on the grips.

Attached photo is not the actual bike. Only make, model & color. Locked bike up before work to my usual bike rack around 6:30am. Left work around 7pm and the bike & lock were gone. I am assuming that the cable lock was cut and the thief took off with both the bike & lock.

Bike was locked in the same location I lock it everyday for work. Metra station has 20+ bikes locked up, many appear to be abandoned. Not a ton of foot traffic during the middle of the day, someone probably just walked by and cut through the lock.

I have left my bike locked and unlocked to a railing in my second floor hallway (small apt. building, 6 units.) for 10 months. Didn't lock it last night. My roommate came home from work at 1:00am with her bike, left it beside mine and went to bed. I walked out the door at 7:00am to ride to work, both bikes gone, same with the neighbors. No sign of damage to the downstairs lock, but the back rolling gate to the alley that protects the driveway was left ajar (this is usually locked by my landlady), which makes me believe the bikes were loaded into a truck in the alley. No signs of damage to the lock downstairs door, so I'm guessin roommate left it open by accident.

Bike was locked to bike rack in locked bike room in condo building. When I went to get the bike today, only the cut bike lock was found.

Bike was taken from a locked storage room with other bicycles. Last seen on Monday and missing on Wednesday morning. Other bicycles had to be moved to get access to this bike.

The newer u-lock w/flat key must have been just around the tire because when I came back the bike was gone except the bike wheel was attached to lock. It was right outside the Ballys Century City/ Aveda area on Clark and Diversey. It was on bike rack outside the Jimmy Johns. Thank you if you find it!!!

I locked my bike up at approximately 4pm, went inside LPAC to work out and when I returned at 5pm it was gone. I only left it for approximately 1 hr and someone stole it in broad daylight.

The bike is locked to a bike rack in front of US Bank on Wabash near Washington at 7am. It was still there when I checked it at noon, but at 4:00pm it was gone. The entire bike was taken and the thief left the lock there. The lock appear to have been opened and there wasn't any damage on it.

I went to the Museum of Science and Industry, locked my bike outside, when I was finished, the bike was gone.
