Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

2 bikes were stolen at the same time. They were locked together around the frames and the seats with a cable lock around a parking meter. Both were taken within 10 minutes of going into a store and coming out. Two high school (?) kids with skateboards were scoping out the bikes before we left, but they took off down the street. We believe they came back and took them.

The time noted above is the time I left my apartment for class on Thursday. Upon returning around 11pm, my bike was no longer there. This has been my typical schedule over the past couple weeks since the bike had been strategically placed against the wall, such that it could not be seen from the sidewalk since I did not have a lock for it yet. As also noted above, the most unusual detail is the scrapes on my door that were also present following the dissappearance of my bike. I have not filed a police report yet as I do not have a picture of bike and there is nothing visually distinguisable about it. But if that is the recommendation, I will file one ASAP. So to answer your question, it has been suggested that someone may have been watching the bike as I had not been locking it or someone must have entered Bishop street through the gangway and seen the bike then deciding to take it, as it truly was not visibile from the regular sidewalk. That's really all I can ascertain about the situation.

Bike taken from Garage with a Sobe mountain bike (sepeate posting) and several other itmes

Took from Garage with another bike (seperate posting) and several items

Someone in my apartment building (Woodlawn House, TLC management) or who had access to the building stole my bicycle.

It was a Jamis Aurora, my only mode of transportation! I am heart broken, I am still paying off my bike with my credit card :'( The tires are 2 years old, very worn; the chain is a bit rusty and the right gear gauge is cracked off and the break is crooked (car door accident) The U LOCK is STILL ON THE BIKE! It's on the upper bar the seat is connected to, and anyone riding it would be nuisanced by the ULOCK getting in their way! (unless they pick the lock ;p) I left my bike in my back stairway on my apartment building, another tenant must have left the door gaping wide open! :(

Bike stolen from right outside of my house. sorry not to have more info on the model #

This bike was locked is a passageway between the two courtyard buildings of my apartment complex. It was locked to one of the wooden posts that supports the back porches of the building and are bolted to the concrete. There are about 10 other bikes that other residents that were locked there, but mine is the only one that seems to be missing. There is a locking door to the entry of the passageway in the front, but it is open to the back alley. Its not a place that is easily noticeable; unless you were a resident, you would never notice it. I saw it there in the morning before work and it was gone when I came home from work

Lock cut, bike taken.

I left the side door to the garage unlocked, but closed. Somone found our front gate unlocked and walked down the side of the house to the garage, went in and took the bike, a power drill and a sleeping bag.

i locked my bike outside my appt within 9 hours it was stolen and i was sleeping the whole time. if anyone knows any information about my baby, please contact me at 203 848 4658.

I was working at SmallBar on Division on Sunday night. Locked up the bike at 530pm. Came back out at 100am. No wheels. The Phil Wood hubs require a 6mm allen wrench to remove the wheels. Someone saw my bike and pulled out there 6mm allen wrench and took my wheels for themselves. These were not scrappers, they know what they took.

Bike was locked with three locks - older u lock, thin cable padlock, and fat chain - through both wheels and frame to bike rack on Ashland under the Clybourn Metra tracks with many others. I locked it at 2:45 and it was gone by 5 when I returned. FYI police officer wrote theft location and my name incorrectly on the report.

Left my bike right in front of a local Starbucks for 4 hours, when I came back to get it, it was gone with the lock.

The bike was taked from my garage sometime last night between the hours of 10 PM and 4AM.

Somebody left the garage door open which leads to a very sketchy alley. Somebody must of seen the bike and rode off with it

Moved into new apartment in building with bike storage room. Needed to take my one lock for the bike I was riding (the one I keep in my apt). Left this one unlocked for all of 24 hours. Gone. Stupid, stupid me. The bike was too big for me. But I want my badger head back!

My bike was parked in my garage. I assume one of my tenants left my garage open on accident and someone must have walked in and taken my bike. If anyone sees this bike, please contact me. Thanks much.

Went out for a morning ride, didn't lock the bike up but put it under stairs. Came back home at 1:30, and bike was gone.

Taken from a concealed section of a well-lit backyard.
