Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was in my garage connected to my son's trailer and he was there 5 minutes taking it apart.

I got my bike out of our locked storage area. Before I took off I realized I had forgot my wallet so I ran upstairs really quick to get it before I headed out and when I came back the bike was gone.

Bike was sitting 3 floors above ground on a rear exterior stair case of the 4 story condo building. Unlocked because there are two exterior building gates. One in front, one in back. Both are usually locked - the front is always locked. The bike is left unlocked due to it sitting so high above ground. I went to use it at 5pm on 8/13 and it was gone. I had just seen it the day or 2 previously, but hadn't used it. Never heard or noticed sound of potential theft given this rear exterior stair case is adjacent to both the master bedroom and guest bed/office.

On 8/11 at 4:30 pm, a resident of my condo saw a man coming out of our bike storage area carrying a bike. She asked him if it was his and he refused to look at her or answer. She tried to stop him but was unable to and he rode off from our building. We were notified of this incident at 10:30 pm. I went down to check for my bike and discovered it was missing. However, it was not the bike she saw taken, as she got a few pictures. This means my bike was taken sometime in the last few weeks since I last used it. Our bike room has hooks on the wall that can easily be pulled off. However, the thief gained access into our building in order to steal these bikes. He was seen with a keyring holding a lot of keys, so we think he may be using a master key. Our building will be reviewing video surveillance to confirm.

I am unsure of the exact time that the bike was stolen but it was not there as of 8am on 8/12/21. The bike was locked to a metal concreate bar after 8pm on 8/11. There are cameras but nothing the building can do in term of helping out with the disappearance.

I am an employee of Van's at 39 South State Street. I lock my bike to the city-provided bike rack in front of the store for every shift. Another bike was there today utilizing two small U-locks to protect their bike leaving no room for the safe lock I have fashioned for my Zebra bike with the large Kryptonite chain I own. I could see my bike from the store however we were very busy today. I saw my bike present from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. When I clocked out at 9:00 pm and walked outside my entire bike was gone except for my front wheel (quick release) and my bike chain.

Running errands in the area, came back to bike location and bike was missing, nothing left behind, no lock or damaged pieces on the ground.

The bike was in my personal storage space in my apartment. Someone broke in and took my bike. Door was locked whe i left it in the morning and locked again when i came home.

The Bike was stolen from in front of 150 N Michigan during mid day. I was working in the building and when I came out to move it at lunch as it was about to storm and it was gone. Working with building security to get footage of the incident.

The thief broke into my apartment's laundry room window and stole my bike by cutting the lock, as well as another bike being stored on the same bike lock. He then left the lock at the scene and left through the apartment's alleyway. My apartment's security system was able to catch the suspect on video, and there is a clear image captured of the thief's face that I can provide as well. The thief was a black man wearing a black t-shirt.

bike was at bike rack at North Avenue Beach

Incident happened sometime between 7am Aug. 6 and 930pm Aug. 8 as I was out of town for the weekend.

I am from out of town and visiting a friend, and I left my bike in the back of my vehicle. The front wheel was removed for transport. In the morning when I went to get my bike, I found my windows smashed my bike and front wheel stolen. I filed a report online with CPD, and I am waiting for confirmation and a case number.

I locked my bike up on a bike rack on the sidewalk about 30 feet from The Walk In, when i left around 2:00am by bike and bike lock were missing.

The bike was in the back yard away from anyone's site for about an hour when it got stolen

My bike was in an enclosed garage space which should only be accessible by current tenants….but someone left a gate open. It has new silver clip pedals on it, otherwise looks exactly like the photo (minus the cat. He was not stolen).

Locked bike near a local bar, came to grab after work the next day and it was gone

I left my bike liked around 7pm, noticed it was gone 10 am. It was right in front of my apt complex, next to a blue motorcycle parked on the street. there are two other bikes nearby that are also usually parked out front. Usually the area is quiet at night, and with lollapolooza I can’t imagine there was much time for a private theft to go unnoticed.. maybe after 1am.

Bike was locked to bike rack on the campus of the University of Chicago at 4 pm on Sunday, August 1st. When I returned to bike at 7 pm, the bike lock remained and was cut. The campus had few people on it, and the bike rack was protected from street by a large hedge, giving ample cover for a thief to cut the bike lock.
