They took both my bike - Gary fisher hybrid and my roommates bike which was a globe single speed road bike. Both bikes were tied together

I left my bike in our driveway next to our car after running an errand. It was there from 6pm onwards. I forgot to return it to the shed before heading to bed. I noticed it was gone the next morning

The bike was in my car when I parked it late last night in Rogers Park. The thief broke my car window, unlocked the doors and stole it.

Bike stolen from locked bike room in apartment building. We presume it was someone inside the building, as you need to be a resident to unlock the room.

Bike was locked inside of my building and the door must have been accidentally left open?

The bike was locked in a locked communal bike room. The theft could have been from another resident or property management worker since a key is needed to enter the room.

The bike was taken from my apartment buildings bike room.

Stolen from garage

I had a work session with coworkers on the exterior patio of Parson’s Chicken and Fish on Halsted in Lincoln Park. I locked my bike to a parking sign across the street around 12:30pm. When I went to leave around 5:00pm, the bike, was gone along with the lock and my helmet that was locked up with the bike.

Locked bike in front of building on bike rack at around 8pm on Sunday. Came back in the morning and the u lock was cut and left on the rack.

Bike was parked next to others in front of my back porch in an enclosed area. This morning my bike was missing, but roommates bike (also unlocked) was still there. The locked gate to the back of our building was open.

CSBR received an email on 9/19 regarding the RECOVERY: a member of one of the Chicago stolen bikes fb groups spotted it on Broadway and Wilson. So I took the train up there and had called the cops but after about 20 mins, they still hadn't shown up. The guy who had the bike cruised up to the intersection but traffic had stopped him so I ran up and grabbed the bike by the bars and seat and said, "you aren't leaving with my bike". From there, the cops showed up and since there wasn't any proof that that person had been the one who stole it, I just got the bike and we all kinda just went our separate ways. I had my bike sitting right in front of Windy City Gyros while I was inside picking up an order. There were about a dozen elevator worker union guys in the store at the time. While in line I could fully see the bike. Until I stepped up to the cashier and asked for my order I could still see it. In the 30 seconds where I wasn't able to see the bike, it was taken.

The bike was locked to itself and a metal chain link fence, inside the locked gated area of an apartment. The fence was along a back alley. The bike went missing somewhere in between 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm.
