Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The bike was secured by a chain lock to a handicap parking post on Waldreon Deck at Soldier Field on Monday 22nd October at 3:15pm during the Bears game tailgate. This handicap parking sign was next to the Porta-Potty. It went missing sometime after 7:00 pm.

Bike lock was cut some time between 10PM on 10/22 to 9AM 10/23 and bike taken.

safely locked with an ongaurd lock. i had cables going through the wheels to prevent losing my wheels. it was secure against a pole .its still a mystery to me how they broke the lock. they must have used heavy machinery because those locks are hard to break. the bike and the lock and the wires are all gone.

bike was left in locked, enclosed area with 8 foot high fences around it. area was only accessible by scaling high wrough iron or wooden fences. This was in an alley way in front of parked cars in neighborhood near rockwell and cortez. Bike was likely spotted and walked away with.

My bike and helmet were parked unlocked in our two-car garage for the weekend. Garage is attached to our house and was not left open. We think someone synced a garage door opener to our garage door to get in. There was no forced entry. When we reset all our remote codes, the next morning someone had emptied the dumpster right in front of our garage door. We're thinking they came back to grab a few more items and when they couldn't get in, they got angry.

I am a bike delivery guy for Jimmy John's on the corner of Ogden and Grand located next to Starbucks. I left it out back real quick after my last delivery to go inside and grab all of my things to leave work and when I went back to leave it was gone. The bike is in a MAJOR need of work so I believe it will make it's way into a bike shop VERY SOON.

Pedal had snapped off of the crank earlier in the week, so bike was stowed beneath the stairs in the back of the house, behind a locked gate. Was assumed safe since broken and in a non-visible location, so was not locked.

I opened my door and leaned my bike to the side and stepped inside and put down my backpack. I came out probably 15 seconds later to find my bike to be missing.

I set the bike against my back porch door while I went inside to take off my sweater. When I came back out less than a minute later the locked back gate had been compromised and the bike was gone.

The bike was locked up with a U-lock and cable to two other bikes and against porch railing with the stolen bike closest to the railing. The lock was broken and the cable cut.

The bike was parked outside of my school, Northside college prep. I parked the bike at 8am, and when I returned at 3:30, the lock was cut and the bike was gone. I filed a report with the school and am going to file a police report.

Between 2:30 and 4pm the garage doors malfunctioned and the bike was exposed to view. Likely someone took it to sell it. It is large and very heavy

Female,Hammond Resident Robbed and stalked at Starbucks Cafe, Located at One East Delaware in the City of Chicago, Gold Coast area. On the night of Oct 2, 2012 I arrived at 5:23 p.m. and 31 seconds at Starbucks Cafe and proceeded to lock my bike. She purchases an order and sat down by the window. When she looked out, her bike was missing. The video footage is documented next door. The thief flees at 5:26 and 49 seconds. It took the thief, one minute and four seconds to complete the act. A limosine driver was a witness but refused to cooperate.

The bike was locked to a bike rack in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art on the corner of Chicago Avenue and Mies Van Der Rohe Way at 6:00 PM. It was locked with a cable that passed through both wheels and around the monotube of the frame (it is a small and unusual shape for a bike) and was secured with a mini U-lock (with flat key) to a bike rack. When I returned at 7:00 PM, the bike was gone and there was no sign of the lock or cable. It could have been stolen by cutting either the cable or the mini U-lock, but I suspect that it would be easier to cut the cable.

Rode my bike in to work at One North Wacker Drive - Locked on the rack behind the building in the alley at about 8:30AM - Went to retrieve at 5:15PM to find the lock was cut and bike was gone.

The garage at my house was left open.
