Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The male thief took the bike from our son outside an opened retail establishment: Target. The bike was last seen outside of the Target in Uptown on the north side of the building. It was stolen at 5:51 p.m. on 1/16/2014 (recorded here as 6:00 pm, your system will not allow the actual time). The thief watched him go into Target then took the bike. Together with Target’s Assets Protection Specialist, we have seen the man on tape in camera footage captured by the outdoor Target cameras. The video is preserved for the detective to follow-up with Target and retrieve the recording. The thief was wearing a black North Face-like jacket and wearing a black skull cap. The bike had a white helmet attached to it. It was also stolen. We are not sure of the brand; however, it's believed to be: Airius. There are two, orange, highly visible reflectors on the front accenting each side of the head.

somebody cut the lock and took the bike

Still there as roomate came home at 3 in the morning and i returned at 8 the next morning to find it stolen

My bike was stolen outside of Old World Bicycle. Sorry

Bike was locked to bike rack at Rogers Park Metra Station on Greenleaf at 5:45PM and was missing at 11:00PM

Not sure when exactly the bike was stolen. Has been locked to the bike rack for around 2 months. Bike rack is inside a locked garage in an appartment building. Bike had been stolen from same location two years ago and through this website I got it back!!! Now it's gone again. Very frustrating.

Could have been stolen anytime in the two or three weeks prior to January 4th, 2014. I am not certain how the stairway could have been accessed.

I left my bike in front of the Lurie Children's hospital over the weekend, returning to it it was missing. It was locked at the front of the building on a steel fence.

Residential garage that faces an alley way between Cleveland Ave and Mowhawk St was left open for a short period of time. Bike was inside the garage, unlocked. During about a half hour stretch of time the bike was stolen from the garage.

Someone took the bike from my personal garage. No bike tracks were seen in the snow. Assuming it was a truck (or they carried it or I can't track bike tracks).

The bike has been kept in my 2 car garage for a year and a half, at the front of the garage furthest away from the garage door, which is the only exit into the alley. 2 other bikes and a few other items are piled up at the front of the garage as well. I pulled my car back into garage in the evening, and only my yellow, Fuji Shakalaka Beach Cruiser was missing. slightly different than attached picture, bike does not have center storage compartment

Bike was locked to a parkway fence with a new Kryptonite U-Lock directly in front of the entrance to a residential building, with two other bikes. Only this bike was touched. Lock was cut with a grinder and left at the scene.

When inside to look for stuff. During the meantime, most likely someone from the store saw the bike and decided to steal it. Store had no external cameras and possible witnesses generally unhelpful.

My apartment was broken into, someone smashed our basement window and came in through there. My bike was in our living room and not locked to anything since it was in a locked apartment.

Door to the garage was forced and the lock was cut. I'm not sure exactly when it happened because I don't use my bike every day. Probably during the week of Christmas. Great timing, right?

The Schwinn High Plains Black 21" was in front of Ciclo Urbano and was locked up to multiple display bikes. At 2:15pm the thief enters surveillance camera frame and at 2:28pm the thief cuts the cable and rides off with the bicycle.

Was in a common area shared by seven units of condo building, where it was parked with two other bikes right outside my door. Have parked bikes there for years. Entry from the outside requires going through a locked gate on the outside and a locked door on the building, though people can be buzzed in. Not sure how thief got in, but there was no sign of forced entry (e.g., no damage to doors).

Neighbor left door open

Bikes have been stolen from our garage a few times however there were much more valuable and bikes that were unlocked. Mine was at the end. To get in, they must have jumped the bike fence, followed a car in our out of entered via our building (resident or buzzed in by a resident).

Thief broke garage door and knobs and entered garage.
