Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Garage door was broken and did not close properly - 1st garage in corner of the alley. Someone came in and just took 3 bikes out.

Someone took it from my hallway. My mountain bike was taken three years ago and found for sale at a flea market thanks to this site. I m guessing this will be at one as well.

I went into the Den Theater in Wicker Park to see a show. Afterwards, I went to have a drink with friends, planning on receiving my bike and going home once we had a drink. When I returned to the theater, my bike and U-lock were missing. I didn't look for the bike when I left the theater, assuming it was there. I'm not sure if it went missing while I was in the theater or in the bar. There was no sign of the bike or lock. I had locked the bike to a pole, as there were no available bike racks to lock it to. I have a feeling that after the play, when the area was less crowded, that a thief sawed through the U-lock, and left with the bike and lock. The bike was in great condition, and had brown leather seats and grips, making it a bit of a target. Lesson learned.

At least two bikes were stolen from the storage area of the basement in our condo unit located on the 3800 block of Sheffield Ave. We have a video of two men going in the entrance in the back of our basement around 4:00 am on Sept 21st and coming out with the above listed bike.

The bike was gone along with the lock.

Thief disassembled street sign to bypass the U-lock. The U-lock was a combination U-lock by Kryptonite (however, the combination was set to the correct combination, but it appears that the thief did not realize this as the lock looks locked regardless of combination). In the end though, it appears the method of theft was dis-assembly of the street sign.

Bike was locked up to a street sign at 5:15pm Sep 16 2014, next to the valet service of Soho House Chicago at 113 N Green St, in Fulton Market. The bike was caught on security camera being stolen Sep 17 2014 at 5:42am. The thief is a bald African American male that took the bicycle and left his in its place. His bicycle did not have brakes and was basically not useable.

Cargo bike was locked in front of home to a sign. Both wheel lock and thick keyed cable lock were in use. Neither were found at the scene. We are fairly sure it was spotted still locked at 7a on Monday, but no confirmation on that.

Bike was locked in bike room. Several other bikes were stolen, locks included.

break in to basement, bike stolen from wall rack.

The bike was locked to the bike racks located on the south-east corner of the intersection of Madison St. and Clinton St. There were at least 6 bicycles locked to the racks Tuesday afternoon, and when I made it back to the bike Wednesday morning there were two bikes left attatched to the bike racks. Both bikes were secured with a very heavy duty U-style lock. I cannot speculate on how the bike was stolen other than someone cut the cable and made off with the bike.
