Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I returned home from a trip on June 1 to find that my bicycle which had been U-locked to a street sign in front of my condo since the previous Monday (5/28) had been stolen. Adjacent to the street sign (no parking sign) was a white plastic chair on which the actual sign had been left presumably by the thieves. The sign had been detached from the top of the pole. The thieves likely lifted the bicycle past the top of the pole after they had detached the sign from the top of the pole. There was no trace of the bike other than the white chair and the sign which were left adjacent to the pole.

bike was locked night before. next morning it was gone. no traces of a cut luck. It was a krytonite u lock in addition to chain to deter wheel theft

Trollers had targeted known, locked, storage area where the Langster and a Gary Fisher SS were regularly stored.

Three bikes stolen, locks, fence, loved access area were not a deterrent. Police report filed, don't have number yet.

THIS IS A VERY SIMILAR LOOKING BIKE, NOT MY EXACT BIKE. My bike still says Shogun on the frame. Bike was removed from the bike racks at the Do Division festival probably by the festival workers.

The bike was in a garage and was placed there after Memorial Day. It was taken sometime between then and 6/6.

I left my bike locked to a bike rack while at work. I ride it almost every day and tend to leave it at this rack. When I went out for lunch I realized the bike was gone and the only thing on the floor was a piece of velcro from the handlebars. The bike is a good condition trek 4500. older model (2008 I think) but still a nice bike.

Bike was unlocked on a rooftop, i walked away from it came back and it was gone

Yellow and Blue Trek 3900 mountain bike with cable combination lock was stolen in front of GAP on Broadway in lakeview.

Bike locked to a Cannondale M400 mountain bike with 2 older round key ulocks. Bikes last seen in AM around 9:15 when I unlocked my daughter's bike from them. Noted missing from garage around 4:45 pm same day. Two other bikes had been stolen from this location. Bikes would have to been carried out together and could not be rolled out. Carried away or loaded into a truck????? Suspect the space was watched. Garage is used by 6 tenants and not everyone is good with putting down the door all the way. Neighbors often note the door is left open.

Two bikes locked together (each to the other) in a private garage which opens to an alley. Bikes (Cannondale M400 and an Orange Lotus touring bike) were locked with two old style U locks with round keys,but not locked to any structure. I saw the bikes around 9:15 AM when I unlocked my daughters bike from them and she rode her bikes to school. Bikes noted missing around 4:45 same day when I went to store/lock daughter's bike after school. Garage door on the back of the building often gets left up by other tenants. Alley is just off Chicago and Damen and is frequented by many pickers. Two other bikes stolen from the same space. Suspect the space had been scouted. Bikes had to have been taken together - would not roll the way they were locked together.

First bike in the city, the bike shop didn't have U-Lock's so I bought the next best... run a restaurant and didn't have time to get a better lock until my next day off.. Bike didn't last until my next day off. If you see it, please help me get it back.

Left bicycle chained up on back porch at 230 pm on June 5th 2012 and bike was gone by 9:30 pm same day.

My u-lock was (stupidly) locked through the front tire into a metal window grate. The thief removed the front tire and took the bike.
