Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

In front of Roosevelt University on Wabash Ave. I asked the security guards to show me the footage and we saw, what looked to be a black man with some sort of backpack/carry sack, and a baseball hat. He pretended to tie his shoes while people were walking by, and as soon as the people walked down the street, he pretended to tie his shoe again in front of my bike, probably cutting it with a wire cutter.

I was in a book club meeting and came out and it was gone. It was parked on the side of the house we were in at 4450 n Kildare. Its a red diamondback, with a rattley cargo rack on the back. Sort of loud, can't miss it.

Bike was locked to the metal handrail on the front ramp going into the Alliance Francaise on Dearborn just north of Chicago. Bike was locked to the handrail on the inside of the gate around the front of the building. I locked it up a little before 4:30 to go into class. When I came out an hour later, it was gone.

It was taken from our building bike room in the South Loop area. We had just came back from vacationing this Sunday June 4th <-- our 1 year anniversary. My wife and I went out for dinner returned around 8pm. It was taken between May 26-June 4th. I love my bikes so I told her I would go check up them. When I went to the room I was shocked and in disbelief that it was gone. The bike was locked with a Kriptonite U-lock both back wheel and frame.

Bike was stolen out of my building

This bike has been in the family for 40 years, I inherited this bike from my dad. I don't have the heart to tell him it was stolen from my home. It was taken from our building bike room in the South Loop area. We had just came back from vacationing this Sunday June 4th <-- our 1 year anniversary. My wife and I went out for dinner returned around 8pm. It was taken between May 26-June 4th. I love my bikes so I told her I would go check up them. When I went to the room I was shocked and in disbelief that it was gone. The bike was locked with a Kriptonite cable lock both wheels and frame. I'm staying hopeful it turns up. [admin note- on 8/30/21 the victim wrote to inform us the bike was put back in the basement shortly after word of the theft spread.]

They loosend the front tire hub and lifted the bike but left the front wheel and the lock locked.

This morning, when I went into our garage space, checked in our storage unit I noticed someone had stolen the bicycle out of our storage unit. The unit was not locked as it is within a secure building garage. However this week our garage has had some construction with the doors being replaced with maintenance, so the locks to the garage may have been compromised/not working for the entire week. The storage space was not locked, and neither was the bike.

Bike was locked outside the Green Eye Lounge and in the morning it was gone. A short man with a mountain bike had asked me about the bike the night before, how much it cost, and was it heavy. I did not answer but saw him the next day on the corner. I believe he took it.

I am unsure of a specific incident date. It was locked for a few days before I discovered it was stolen. Sometime between Saturday, June 3, and Wednesday, June 8.

My bike got stolen outside of 400 North McClurg Street, in the building complex above lizzie mcneil's. Bike Make and Model Number: 6KU Aluminum Fixed Gear Single-Speed Fixed Gear Urban Track Bike Amazon listing where I bought it from, except my handle bars look different than picture, I had bull-horn style handlebars: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018NVRCHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1 I parked my bike and locked it to the bike rack right in front of the apartment building named CityFront Place at 400 N McClurg Ct. My bike is lightweight, two race tires, all black, and has only one hand brake on the right handlebar. It is a single speed chain. I used a thin bike lock that someone must have used small blade pliers to cut through and steal the whole thing. They even stole the bike lock and also the bike. I am attaching pictures to this so you can see exactly where the bike was stolen from right in front of cityfront place and next to the river. I had run back home to my apartment because I didn't bring any money for a taxi when I was helping my friend move his furniture into cityfront place. If anyone knows anything or how I can get access to the security camera on the street would be very helpful. I know it's just a bike, but I believe we should stop theft happening around our neighborhoods more than anything. This crime will only lead to more crime in the future unless we prevent it. I did see a security camera on the street with access to record the bike rack where i locked my bike to. I was there today June 7th 2017 form 1:50pm to 5:00pm. Please help me find these thief's and hopefully get my bike back. I have not filed a police report yet but going to now.

Bike was stolen from a locked garage

Bike was taken and so was lock. Unsure how it was done. I recorded the bike lock area to check for any marks and nothing. I went across to eat at a restaurant and came back and it was gone. I asked around and no one saw anything

Thief used a wrench to remove the bolt from the street sign pole my bike was locked to. Lifted the pole to slide it from the lock. Wheel was locked to frame.

I lent my brother my bike while out of town. On 6/6/17 he locked the bike at the Blue Line Logan Square station at an outside bike rack which may or may not have cameras. He locked the bike by passing the cable through the front and back wheels and the frame, securing the cable through the u-lock, and securing the u-lock to the bike rack. The cable was cut and the thief stole the bike at some time between 9am and 4pm, leaving both the cable and the u-lock at the scene (the u-lock was not broken as it was not secured to the bike itself). I can provide more specs for the bike if need be for verification.

It was in a locked fenced-in area in a garage on Wabash in the AMA Plaza garage. A cable lock locked the front of the bike to the rack and a Kryptonite messenger mini locking the body. It had my panniers and helmet on it too. JA295124

Suspect got through/over back alley gate then kicked/busted through the locked storage room door where my bike was.

Bike was left at bike rack locked over night. Next afternoon was not found and another bike was also on the rack but it was not locked.

Bike stolen sometime between May 27th and June 4th while I was out of town. The garage is normally locked but it is possible that the side entrance door could have been unlocked at some point given that other individuals have access. The garage is located just east of the Fullerton Red line stop.
