Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was Secured to the light pole by the full bike rack located on the south side of the depot using a flat key MasterLock u-lock and a thick steel cable through the frame, seat, panniers, and both tires. Bike, cable, and lock were discovered stolen at around 4:50 pm.

Locked next to 2-3 other bikes at the same location. No one in the gym or the parking garage reports anything abnormal but no one had their eyes open at all near the scene.

My bike was stolen from my locked apartment but my apartment was not BROKEN into. Whoever stole my bike also stole my laptop! My landlord had shown my apartment but said that he did not leave the people alone in my apartment. He was trying to make it clear that he has no idea how it happened. When I came back home, one of the locks to my door was locked but not the other...fishy...Help!!!

I have parked the bike in the same location for a while with no issues. Someone must have noticed it and cut the lock and took the bike.

I placed my bike in between two building on Sunnyside and ran a quick errand. Came back shortly and it was gone.

Locked bicycle to bicycle rack to get groceries at Safeway. When I returned it was gone. Filed Police report with San Francisco Police Department Report #091214133. $500 Reward for the safe return of bicycle.

the bike was stolen off of my front porch, it was locked (frame and front wheel) It happened within 2am and 5am on april 23 2010.

Bike was locked to a sign post at the north end of the east parking lot (off Kinzua St) at the Edgebrook Metra Station. Kryptonite lock to the back wheel and frame. Bike and lock were missing. Bike is a black Trek Soho S with fenders and a back rack.

I had locked the bike to a fence in front of a dental office in a residential neighborhood. I had checked it in the evening before going home. When I came out to unlock it in the morning, it was missing, along with the lock. The fence did not appear damaged.

U-lock was broken and taken with bike, as well as the cable lock which was around the front tire. It happened very quickly, within an hour and a half, while I was in a yoga class.

I've repeatedly parked my bike here at the corner of Carmen and Clark streets in Andersonville overnight. The single bike rack was located directly under a lamp post, next to a restaurant in a medium-traffic area of the neighborhood. I parked it here Sunday afternoon around 3pm with my new Kryptonite lock through the tire and frame and saw it again Monday morning at 7:30 a.m. on my way to work. Returning Wednesday evening around 7:30 p.m., the bike and lock were completely gone. Jerks.

Custom front wheel stolen off bike. Not a lot of time to take it, so was probably observed locking the bike and the F*&&*$#$&*# AS90943e HOLE who took it just stepped up, took off wheel and disappeared. Other bikes that I'm familiar with along that stretch of LaSalle were missing seats and wheels (which they usually aren't), so either there has been a recent problem with this and people are being more careful, or the A$$ H01@ who took it was doing a quick rip-off all the way down the block. Silver Kore low-flange hub with annodized bronze QR lever. Silver Mavic rim.

The bike was locked to a parking meter through the front wheel and frame using a U-Lock. The back wheel and frame was also secured using a cable. I went to a party at the residence for about 1.5-2 hours and stepped out to the local grocery when I realized the bike was gone. A piece of the lock was left on the ground, and it was clearly cut apart. The area is pretty high traffic, and it was taken in broad day light.

Was stolen during the day between 10am and 3pm. the sign it was locked to was cut or unbolted and the bike along with the krypto chain was taken

Someone within my building broke the tabs to the door of my locker in storage and the bike was stolen. No other bikes in the locker area were messed with.

I left bike at Metra train station (Harlem Avenue station) in Berwyn at 8 a.m. on Thursday April 15th. When I returned around 5 p.m. the bike was gone. I had a kryptonite U-lock with a large cable. My mistake was to just use the cable to lock both wheels and frame. In other words, even though I used a u-lock, I only attached the u part to the bike rack which was attached to the cable that was wrapped around the frame and both wheels. All the thieves had to do was clip the cable and my bike was gone. One issue is that the bike rack is one of those wavy black metal ones with the thick pipes, making it very difficult to get my u lock looped around and attached to the frame. Also, note that my bike, while only 2 years old, was not the fanciest bike out there and had alot of dirt on it. At the time, I couldn't imagine it would have any value to a thief to risk going to jail for it. How wrong I was and sorry I am for making that assumption. This is the second bike i've had ripped in 3 years and will never ride anything to train but the dumpiest rustiest bucket i can find. woo hoo, the thieving swine win again.

Somone loosened both 15mm track bolts and two 10mm bolts on the chain tensioners and removed the wheel. They would have to have had tools for this theft. The thief is most likely a fixed gear rider. This occurred in broad day light with pedestrian and vehicle traffic around. The bike is a Surely Steamroller, Boston Baked Bean color, bie has both front and rear fenders. Feel free to contact me if you have any information. Thanks.

Was locked to the inside of fence in a decent neighborhood. Two other bikes at the scene but not touched.

Left in front of apartment building for 2mins while i went up to grab my camera charger and then it was gone.

Bike was locked to a bike rack with a cable padlock, and was stolen along with the lock.
