Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I went to see a movie with some friends, on a bright and busy Thursday afternoon downtown, locked it up to a bike rack at 2:45. Got out at 5:30 and it was gone. Security guards and their cameras were no help.

This bike along with one other (black Bianchi mountain bike) was stolen off our back deck. Access to the deck is secured by two locking doors at either end of courtyard.

7am. I went to go stop at my apt to get the bike lock, I come back out and the bike is gone. So someone either was walking, sitting in their car, or someone who lives in the area saw me do it. The bike specifically is missing a headlight but has the clip on and the tailight is still on it. A brand new Bell tail light. The bike is a diamond back, handle bars in the middle are kind of rusty. If you see it or find it please call me!

Bike was in storage area in basement / back stairwell of building. Door to the alley was left unlocked by a neighbor sometime during the night. I discovered it missing when i was leaving for work 11/30

wife was cleaning the back room and some one took it

Bike was stolen while I was home over Thanksgiving from my 2nd story deck.

Trek all black women's bike stolen from my back porch! Locked w/ Kryptonite cable lock going from the frame of the bike through the front tire and then the u-lock was locked to the wooden porch rail. Porch rail was broken and removed and cable lock cut. The thief left some of the cable lock behind. Link to external link: http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/2008/bike_path/7000_series/7200/

bike was well locked to a wooden railing of my apartment, behind a locked security gate. the thief busted the railing. and got away with my bike, cable,and lock. the incident a cured in a two hour window period in the day light.

Just lost last night. Not a clue who had taken it.

LEFT BIKE LOCKED TO BIKE RACK ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE MERCHANDISE MART ON EVENING OF OCT.30, 2007. THE BIKE AND LOCK WERE MISSING WHEN I RETURNED 2 DAYS LATER.

I went into the Loyola "L" candy store, placing my bike behind their propped-open door, where I could see it from the cash register. I turned around to indicate an item on the shelf. When I turned back, the bike was gone. I had just bought it, 4 days earlier. I was mad. I ran out, and saw the thief (small boy, had trouble pedaling, standing on the pedals, frantically trying to get away) halfway down Sheridan to Devon on my bike. I ran into the street (Sheridan, at rush hour) and tried to wave ANYONE down. They all thought I was a maniac. I WAS MAD!! When I finally got a cab, the driver couldn't/wouldn't help me to track down the thief. I don't know which way the kid went after he hit Devon, so it could have been someone from the area by 6500 Bosworth, where another bike had been stolen (I read the reports.) I will forever always be cruising the area, looking for my bike, and I pity the fool I find with anything even RESEMBLING my bike. I got another new one, and have set several traps at the same location, with the cooperation of the storeowner. I WILL FIND YOU!! AND I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW MUCH BLOOD IS IN THE HUMAN BODY. AND HOW MUCH PAIN THAT BODY CAN EXPERIENCE. AND I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I FIND YOU! (Pictures will be available on request.)

I was in my apartment having lunch, and my Vista Cavalier was locked to a telephone pole out front. I came out and it was gone. It's worth nothing--well, that is to say, I paid $60 for it, as is plainly visible because the price is written in marker on the handlebars, but it's gone through a cross-country move and is now DEFINITELY worth nothing.

I parked my bike inside a locked/gated parking area (alongside an alley) and went inside for 10 minutes to load up my bag. I came out to discover my bike had been stolen. Thief had to had to jump a locked 6'6" fence, toss bike back over fence and climb out. This occurred during a 10 minute window from 3:30 to 3:40 on Sunday afternoon.

The bike was in a storage room in our condominium building along with 10 other bikes that were not disturbed. The thief would have had to get through a locked gate and a locked front door to get in. Foolishly, I thought it was secure enough that I didn't need to lock the bike itself up as well. I got it a little early as a birthday gift -- and it was already stolen before my birthday.

Bicycle along with several others sitting on residential front porch, no bicycles locked. My bicycle alone was stolen between the hours of 6am and 10am.

Someone broke my wooden fence and took the bike. There might still be a Kryptonite U-Lock still on the frame.

Bike was stolen in a very busy area, among 50+ parked bikes, it is likely that people either noticed and ignored the theft, or that the theft occurred very fast.

While working around the house someone opened a closed gate walked into my fenced yard, went into the basement storage area, removed the bike and rode off.

Locked bike to city installed bike rack on busy commercial strip of Halsted St. on beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. Came back 2 hrs later and it was gone.

Bike rack was cut through and bike removed. Thief was identified while attempting to do this last night but he ran away. Later returned and stole the bike. This is in a series of thefts that have occurred from this rack (about 3 in one week). Likely the same person.
