Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I got home at 7:30 am. Left my bike as usual on the back porch on the 2nd floor apt which is behind a 12 foot fence and a locked gate. In the 20 mins it took me to grab clothes and food, someone had unlocked the gate grabbed the bike and left the gate wide open. You can not see the bike from the street level so someone has obviously been watching me as I do this everyday.

The bike was locked by it's frame to a street sign on a quiet residential street over night. When I came up in the morning the sign was laying on the grass after having been cut at it's base. The bike was gone along with the u lock.

My bike was locked to a No Parking sign with a newer u-lock with a flat key. The thief probably stood on the bike and removed the sign from the post and lifted the bike up and off the sign post.

I last saw my bike in the side yard of my 3-unit building on Sunday night, July 10, at about 8pm. On Monday morning, July 11, at about 7am, I went out to ride to work, and found it missing. My roommate's bike, also unlocked, was still on the scene. The side yard is behind a 6-foot high solid wooden gate, and is not visible from the street. We've had some problems recently with the gate not latching at blowing open in the wind.

While the bike picture is not my exact bike it is very similar. My bike was locked to a No Parking sign in the parkway just left of the driveway to my apartment building. After I returned home from dinner on Sunday night my bike was still where I had locked it and when I left for work on Monday morning at 7:00am I am 99% sure it was still there but when my boyfriend left for work half an hour later the bike was not there. The bike along with the lock were taken but the street sign appears undisturbed. I have only been locking my bike in this location since June 23rd and would ride it to work (a mile away) locking it each night to the street sign due to the fact there is no gate, bike rack, or bike storage at my building. If the lock was cut, I would assume it would have been left behind but the fact that the bike and the lock are gone leads me to assume the bike and lock might have been lifted over the sign but I don't know how that would be possible or how it would go unnoticed... The bike was a gift from my mom and I have only had it since Father's Day (June 19th) of this year. This is my second bike to be stolen in two-years so to get it back would be so amazing but I know the odds of that are worse than slim.

Someone cut my u lock and ran off with my bike

It was parked in the loop. Wabash and Washington .

i left my bike outside of my friend's apt. i left my bike unlocked because i was on my way over to another friends house. Plans changed and i stayed the night where my bike was, completly forgetting that it was unlock. the next morning it was missing. it could of been stolen during any time of the night.

http://velospace.org/node/16790 not the same bike, but similar body. it had white drop handle bars, plenty of scratches.... used but wonderful to ride. it was within the gate of the porch, was there for a month, wheels were not attached, underneath a blanket and behind other stuff. silly but it got stolen the day we meant to put it together. possibly stolen while friends were inside the apt pretty bummed about this

I locked my bicycle to the fence near the stairs and bike racks inside the turnstiles at the Logan Square CTA Blue Line stop between 8:30am and 9:00am on Monday, July 11. When I returned to the station around 6:45 pm, the bicycle was no longer there. There was no sign of the lock or my helmet that I had left hanging from the handlebars. I called CTA at 1-888-YOUR-CTA thinking the bicycle may have been removed by CTA employees because it was locked to the fence and not the bike racks (they were all full due to the crazy rain storm that morning). The woman I spoke to said that CTA does not remove bicycles from the fence and that it had likely been stolen.

I got to work @ 7am, I locked my bike to the bike rack, like I always do, by 9am it was gone, the lock was cut clean and left there. there are security cams @ work and security personnel are reviewing the tapes

Inside job of some low-life who lives within the building since the cable was cut clean through.

Bike was locked on my back porch. only people living in the building or people driving through the ally would have been able to see it. Someone took a large 2x4 and broke off the rail on the porch that the bike was U-locked to. happened between mid night on the 10th and 9 am on the 11th.

I think someone came on my back porch and stole my bike

I was having dinner at Sip and I went out afterwards and was going to pick up my bike in the morning. The thief cut the fence that it was locked up to and took teh U-lock and everything.

Stolen from the southwest corner of the Castaway's bike lockup area.

Bike locked to a street sign outside Cricket Wireless at corner of Milwaukee and Belden. Locked with a ULock with frame and front tire with helmet. Helmet was a red nutcase with white stripe and 2 white sharks. I was gone for two hours and returned to missing bike. I checked the sign and noticed that it was removeable from the base. I spoke with employees of Cricket store and they said a few bikes had been stolen from that location recently. Please let me know if you have any information.

Bicycle was stolen from an open garage, not locked at time of theft.

The bike was chained to the front porch with lock and chain and was taken at around 1:30 am. There is a big bush in front of the house that blocks the view of the street and thats where my daughter parked her bike this time.
