Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The thief was a white male, white hair, white shirt, blue jeans or blue colored pants, about 50-55 years old, 5'7" -5'9". This bike was locked to a tree directly in front of my hotel while I gathered my suit cases in my room on the 5th floor and the valet went to get my truck. Less than 15 minutes! When I returned, the lock was cut. My sons bike was left there untouched. Several witness NOBODY DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT! They just let it happen.

Stolen by black guy. There is video record

I loked my bike by U metal lock on the frot of my house, checked from my window at 8 pm, he was here, didn't hear any sound, my windows were open, looked at 11.20 pm -and he was gone!!!

I locked bike to pole with new Kryptonite U-lock on Monday 5/17 at 8:45am. Due to back injury, I couldn't ride for the next 2 days. On Wednesday, mid-day, I realized bike was missing. If you have any information, please reach out.

I locked my bike up at night as I always do on the bottom of my stairwell. When I woke up to ride it to work this morning, it was gone. It's unusual because the bike wasn't in a place where no one can see it. It was surrounded by apartment buildings. I assume someone must have cut the lock and took off with it late in the night.

I locked my bike up in front of Borders, got on the redline and went to work. When I came back my bike was gone. There were two other bikes on the bike rack next to mine. No new bike was locked up on the rack where my bike was locked which I thought was odd.

Bike locked in usual location outside of work. Locked bike at approximately 7: 15 a.m. Came to retrieve bike at 7:15 p.m. Another bike was locked where my bike had been, so I would guess it was stolen in the morning.

When I back to the street bike was stolen.

I was in Bally club. When I left my bike was stolen.

My bike was locked to a street sign with 2 other bikes. The ulock was cut and all 3 bikes were stolen. The theft occurred on a busy street in front of a bar on a Saturday night.

The bike was locked to a bike rack in front of my gym. The lock was woven in between both tires, the frame and the rack. I found the velcro that ties the bike lock up at the "scene of the crime" - leading me to believe that the lock was cut through with some type of bolt cutter. I was in my gym for approximately one hour and the bike was stolen some time between 9am and 10am.

My bike was locked in front of my gym at 1030 N. Clark, Chicago IL. I locked it a bike rack and when I returned in an hour the bike was gone. The velcro that ties up the lock was located on the ground where I left my bike - leading me to assume that someone cut through the lock with some type of bolt cutters. However, both the bike and lock were gone when I returned.

Bike was locked to an iron fence within our yard. Some sort of bolt cutter was used to cut through the iron fence and remove the bike. Lock would have still been attached to bike.

Locked it to a bike rack next to another locked bike. There is mild traffic in the area with valet parking attendants, smokers, and bar/theater/restaurant goers. I have parked my bike here many times without incident. When I left at 2am both bikes were gone without a trace of ever having been there. I do not know if the other owner's was stolen or just mine.

Bicycle was locked to the main bike rack located between the facility and the outdoor parking lot.

Went to visit a friend at her apartment, she said it would be safe to leave in storage room, i left it there for her to use the next morning, she gave us a call at about 6 am saying that it was missing.

Bike must have been stolen from someone with either wire cutters or who was able to compromise the lock and open it. I left it at the CTA station on my way to work at 11am, came back at 5:15pm and it was gone without a trace. CTA employees knew nothing and do not have cameras on the premises.
