Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

left my bike on my 2nd story porch in a somewhat hidden from plain view area, blocked in by my roommate's locked bike. i checked on it a couple of times throughout the day. at about 430-5pm my neighbor said she saw a female 20 something year old, curly dark hair, and darker complexion with the bike outside her house, downstairs. at 9pm i was leaving my house and my bike was gone. my roommate's bike was still locked in one place. filed a police report. the bike has a heavy duty chain lock wrapped around the base of the seat. i'm the only one who has the keys.

Bike was stolen from a locked, intrusion protected fence, with nothing to lock my bike to inside the gate, strong possibility gate was left open but nobody's speaking up. Happened on Damen and Potomac, pretty close to Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village. Somewhere between 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM. Real shame.

The bike disappeared somewhere between last night and 1:00 PM today.

My bike was stolen from the 5th floor of our parking garage sometime after midnight on today, August 2. It was secured to a pillar adjacent to my parking space by a cable and key lock. The back wheel was further secured to the bike frame by a steel u-lock. I believe the bike was stolen by someone with access to our garage who was able to enter perhaps in a large van. He cut the cable by which the bike was secured, and perhaps physically carried the bike to the enclosed van, thereafter most likely driving out of our garage undetected.

Bike was in laundry room of locked 3 flat apt. house. Had a u-lock and cable lock on it, but not locked. Was put in there the evening of August 1 and was noticed missing at 6am August 2. The door to the house was locked, but the door to the laundry room was not. People in the house had access to it, but someone from outside the house would've had to break in. This is the second bike we've had stolen in 3 weeks, not from the same location and different types of incidents.

The bike was in my friend's closed and locked garage.

I locked my bike to a rack outside Millennium Park near many other bikes. When I left the park a couple hours later, I walked past and saw that the bike was there before walking toward the lake. When I walked back 20 minutes later, my bike was gone. Three or four other bikes were still locked to the bike rack. My helmet also was taken, as I had locked it to the bike.

Bike was locked outside place of business. Building security cameras recorded black male cutting the lock from the bike. Suspect was wearing light colored sneakers, dark denim pants, a light colored long sleeve collared shirt and a dark backpack (the video is in b/w, with grainy imagery, no other specifics can be made). He removes some type of cordless saw from his backpack to cut the lock. Rides off with bike taking the cut lock and cable with him. The only evidence he left... some video footage. The bike was locked with a kryptonite u-lock and kryptonite cable. The cable was ran through the rear wheel and around seat tube, making a loop onto itself. The free end of the cable was locked onto the front wheel with the u-lock and onto the bike rack.

bike was locked every night. By 8 am we try to leave the house to work and the bike was not there anymore. A police report was filed. Report is not here but will place it asap.

My bike was stolen on 7-31-2012 from the bike rack at the East side of 233 N. Michigan Ave. The rack is located at the corner of Stetson and East South WAter sometime between 9am and 12:30 when I came out to get it. They took my bike and my lock.

Bike stolen in OLD TOWN, Chicago. Gary Fisher, camel handlebars and seat, black frame. Brown basket on back with tie dyed straps, brass (japan) bell. The bike was attached to my porch (newer u-lock w/flat key) and the theft broke the porch. Bike lock should still be attached to frame.

Bike was locked up to a wooden pole in the back of my apartment building, had a metal "rope" looped around the back wheel and the frame and then locked the rope to my u-lock, u-lock was around the wooden pole and through the front wheel of the bike. Only the front wheel, u-lock, and cut rope remain at the scene. Someone cut the rope, and un-did the front tire from the rest of the bike so they could steal it.

Left the bike locked and caught the train downtown for work, arrived that evening to find the bike gone. One of two things probably happened, someone got off a train either going to Chicago or further out, stole the bike and got back on another train with the bike, or somone came by dimantled the lock and took it in a truck.

Garage door pried open. The thief even left his own delapidated bike in our garage.

Locked my bike to another bike around a street sign. Frames were locked around the pole, gone in hours, they must of lifted up the street sign.

Last night at 4:20am (right after the rain storm) I heard a man with an electric saw out side by the bikes. I yelled down at him to stop and he yelled back up "hey." I called 911 and they drove by 5 min later, shined a light on the area and kept moving. This morning at 7am when I went out at least 2-3 out of the 6 bikes were missing. I found 4 cut locks total but I believe at least one of them was from a bike that had been stolen a few weeks back.

Bike lock (cable with pad lock)was cut. Bike was locked to a fence along a sidewalk at a park with many other bikes. Sidewalk was hidden behind a parked truck. Occurred during the Taste of Lincoln Avenue Fest between 2 and 4pm on Sunday, 7/29. Lock, cable, and my helmet were left at the scene. Cable was not a super strong cable (which was why my bike was chosen).

About a week ago my headlight went missing while the bike was locked in the same spot it was eventually stolen from. Not sure who might have taken it or when.
