Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I took the bike out of my Zipcar and leaned it against some recycling bins as I was clearing out of the vehicle. I got back in the car for a second to put my things in my backpack and put on my helmet and when I got out of the car my bike was gone. It happened in a matter of minutes.

Bikes were locked up while having lunch, we were inside for maybe 45mins max. Came out and bikes were gone. It was on a busy street in the middle of the day. No idea how they broke the lock, it was locked to an actual bike rack. We think it's a repeat offender from the area and we have some video potentially.

My girlfriend and I went to eat lunch at a local cafe, we locked up our bikes securely to the bike rack, 15ft from the front door of the establishment. We ate lunch and came back to our bikes no more than 45mins later. Both bikes were gone. My guess is someone picked or cut the lock and stole everything all together in broad daylight.

The bike was usually locked with a combination cable lock (black) to a railing at the rear of the residence. I do not know if the bike was locked on the night of theft, as I had come home with groceries the evening before and may have forgotten to lock it after bringing groceries inside. At midnight of the night in question I noticed a car parked on the side of our house (it is a corner lot, so the patio is visible from the street. The car was a newer white station wagon-style car with darkly tinted windows. I had never seen this car before and haven't seen it since. I don't know for sure that the thieves were in this car. Note: the picture shows the bike before I installed the seat, bell, and right pedal.

Bike was locked to a bike lock in front of California Blue Line Station from approximately 7pm to 9pm. Thief seemed to be interested in anything that was valuable and highly portable, thus only the seat, seat post, seat collar, and pedals were taken. Replacement price of parts is approximately $200. Additionally bike was unridable adding insult to injury. Thankfully the most of the bike lives on to tell this story.

the bike was locked to the rack right in front of the AMC river east 21 on East Illinois street. I went to AMC for a movie and the bike was gone after i came out. nothing left.

My bike was taken from my garage. The next day, my grandma told me she went out to get the car that evening, and the garage door was open. The bike was gone. I don't think it was locked to anything, but I don't know, because I hadn't looked at it since I was hit by two cars two and half months ago. I've been in the hospital or immobile nearly all of that time, but everyone said the somehow the bike looked fine. It cost more than $1,400 dollars. I didn't have a picture of it, the one listed is from the website.
