Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike taken as garage door was left open and attended for short time.

Bike was locked on the side of Student Center West by the gym on the UIC West Campus (between Wolcott and Damen).

I went away for a couple of weeks to return and find my bike missing. The lock was completely intact and left on the fence, still locked. I am unsure how this could have occurred. The building said they did not remove any bikes. Perhaps it was taken apart.

My red 'Sunday' BMX bike was stolen from my gated and fenced backyard this morning. It was not visible from the street or alley.

Bike was stolen along with Yakima rack in basement of apartment.

My bike was parked on the east side of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower at 300 E. Randolph St., a very popular, high-traffic, and well-lit area. It was locked through the frame and I also had "Abus Nutfix Quick Release" locks on my wheels.

The lock is a U-lock with a cable. I must have not locked the U-lock to the frame, but just to the bike rack, and the cable was wrapped around the frame and cut. I locked my bike to a bike rack inside the 35th-Sox Red Line station after you tap in with your Ventra card. I believe there are cameras there. I left my bike there around 7 am for work and returned around 6 pm to find the cable cut with my U-lock uncut with my helmet still locked in it.

Bike was taken from storage room at apartment complex. Only residents have the key to access the bike room. Stolen between late October and Decemer 3rd 2017.

Bike was locked to a bike rack in front of my office building and a restaurant at the ground level near Wacker and Madison. I came out around 5pm and found the rack empty. As I stood there holding my helmet, a woman came up and asked if my bike was locked up there. She said they were having drinks at the restaurant and saw someone in a hoodie come up and start sawing at the lock. Sparks were flying apparently. Someone from their group called the police, but they didn't show up in time or at all. Two people approached the thief and asked if he was stealing the bike, he said yes and carried on. She said it took a few minutes and then he climbed on and rode north on Wacker. No one from the restaurant knew anything.

Garage was left open over night from 11/28 to 11/29.

garage was broken into and the bicycle was stolen

Time stolen at 11:50-12:10. I locked bike to the bike racks provided outside the Target on Roosevelt and Clark Sheldon Brown style--rear wheel within the rear triangle. Stayed inside the store for an hour and found my bike and the lock gone when I went outside. Spoke to security and said thief had back towards camera when fiddling with the lock. To which I have to give props for getting through the newer Abus Granit 640. Thief reportedly went westbound on Roosevelt St at 12:00-12:30pm.

garage door was left open and bike was stolen

Bike was stolen from garage while the main door was left open.

Bike was left at the front of the building during Thanksgiving. I visited the place at 9:00 am. When i came for my bike at 3:30pm it was taken away.

I live in the basement and I put my bike under the stairwell under the first floor stairs. On Both sides of the stairwell their are cement blocks. The only way that you can see the bike is if you are standing directly in front of my basement door. I have been putting my bike under the stairwell since Spring of this year (2017)
