Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

My bike was stolen out of my locked garage last night. I found the garage side door open this morning and my bike missing.

This was stolen along with another bike from our building. 8 other bikes were not locked either and they are all still there.

Bike was locked in apt bike storage since November. Noticed the lock was cut today and bike was missing along with a few other bikes. Reported to apartment managers.

The bike was stolen from within the confines of an 8 unit Condo building in Uptown, with fences and locked gates at the front and back. The U-lock went through the front wheel to the frame and a cable was attached to the U-lock and a bike rack. The cable was cut.

I lock my bike up on this rack daily while I am at work. There are other bikes locked to the same rack constantly so I thought it was a safe place. When I came outside last night, the bike was gone and my lock was cut and left on the ground.

The bike was stolen sometime during the school day. The person would have needed to get into the fenced in playground area and then stolen the bike. The lock was cut and left at the scene. There was a pretty constant stream of classes playing outside during the day so there were only small windows of time that it could have been stolen.

The bike was locked in a cage. Someone cut the lock and stole the bike.

Someone has broken into our basement storage unit and cut into the cage to stole the bike.

Left bike outside of mini mart on 18th and Blue Island. In the store for 5 minutes and bike was gone

My bike was on my car bike rack. I was parked in a crowded parking lot in front of a strip mall. I forgot that my bike was on my rack, unlocked, since I was driving straight home from getting it tuned up. I spontaneously decided to make a quick stop at a store. I was inside the store for 15 minutes and when I came out my bike was gone and some of the straps of my bike rack were missing (cut off?). I called the police immediately.

Bike one second floor of building, in enclosed porch area. Taken along with other bikes from basement. Odd part is that this bike was not immediately visible to anyone who just had the opportunity to sneak in. ***On July 4 2021, the victim wrote to CSBR: This one has made its way back to me. Unsure if it's of interest, but it was bought by someone looking to resell up in Gurnee. Said he got it from the flea market down on Ashland.***

On 7/5/2021 the victim informed us: <<This bike was also bought down at the Swap O Rama on Ashland. It sold in late January but was not posted until July 3rd. Recovered from Bolingbrook.>>

I kept two bikes locked up in my storage unit at Ravenswood Terrace. 3 months ago I noticed wheels on one bike was stolen and just today I noticed an entire bike, frame, and lock were stolen. The bikes were locked to each other through the front wheel. Only residents are able to access the storage unit as you need a code.
