Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was locked up with a combo cable lock to a railing on 3rd floor rear entrance with access from the alley. Entrance light was on keeping the area well lit. Between 11pm on May 30 and 7am May 31, 2011 the cable of the lock was cut and bike was taken. The lock was left at the scene.

Two bikes were locked to a city bike rack, on the corner of Michigan and Madison, using two cable locks. We went into the restaurant in the park to use the restroom. We returned less than 10 minutes later to find my bike gone, the cable cut, laying on the ground. The other bike was still there but the second cable lock was also gone. Nobody in the area came forward with any information so we conducted a small, limited search of the area. We had problems contacting CPD on the phone so we walked to the station at State and 18th to file a report.

The bike was sitting unlocked in a garage. I came back to the garage with the door down and the bike gone.

I feel that my lock was cut and my bike was stolen.

Stolen from my garage.

My bike and a Trek 7100 were locked together to a street sign across the street from, and in front of 1 West Superior. My Cannondale was stolen - his Trek was left behind. The cable was cut and left still threaded through the Trek.

Locked it to a street sign in the south end of the loop in in the morning with a newer u-lock w/flat key, and when I came back in the evening it was gone. Presumably the thief unscrewed the street sign and removed the bike.

The Bike was in the bike room of this building, which is a locked secure building. Last seen Tuesday, May 24. The bike must have been taken between Tuesday afternoon and Friday.

My bike had been, I thought, safely locked within this parking/garbage area of the building, which should only be accessed from the interior of the building. If the lock on the gate is fiddled with, it will open. Many other bikes locked (and unlocked) in this area! Chain must have been cut, but is missing with bike.

Bike was locked to a street sign with a newer u-lock with a flat key. Bricks on sidewalk were dug up, looks like sign was pulled out of the ground, they took the bike off the sign and put the sign back in the ground.

Bike was moved from garage to common area within building through garage door and two locked inner doors - two bikes stolen at this time and old black/green Huffy was left in front of building (assuming what thief rode in on) - They left our garage door and inner door open and came back for the Huffy in the middle of the following night.

our apartment building has had frequent (more than 3 incidents in 5 months) security issues lately and took the time to crack the u-lock from my bike and leave no trace. they came in through a hole in the fence where our landlord inlaid the mailboxes, into the area between the front house and the coach-house which we live in. from there, they cracked the lock on our bikes and walked out. based on previous break-in attempts, it is most likely the same person or people watching us for new goodies.

I'd ridden over to a bar to hang out with some friends. The bike rack I locked it up to was right next to the bus stop and in front of the bar next to the bar I went into. There were people out smoking on the street, so whoever the thief was had some cojones :/

Bicycle was stolen midday at North Avenue Beach lake front boat house on a busy, sunny day. It was cabled to another bike & ulocked to a metal fence/railing at the boat house. The cable was cut and bicycle taken.

I was in the pub for 2 hours from 8-10, I came out, and the bike and were lock just gone. (There were other bikes still locked to rack).

Bike was locked with a ulock through the front wheel and frame to a metal railed fence overnight in an enclosed front year. The thief cut the bars of the fence to get to the bike. Bike was most likely still locked to itself when stolen.

I locked it at the provided metal U's at the train station. Upon returning later that day, it was not where I had left it. It was gone with the lock
