Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Stolen sometime during the day. Thieves accessed the secure building either by following a car in through the garage doors or some other way.

Known homeless man walked up to the bike rack and fiddled with the end until it was broken. U-lock was then slipped off and he walked off.

I usually lock both my wheel and frame with my wire lock but I must have done it wrong because when I returned to my bike after working a shift, only my lock and front wheel was there.

I locked my bike near the Catalyst mixed use apartment building near West Loop to attend an event. There were no bike racks so I locked it to the fence surrounding a tree and some flowers. The business it was locked in front of was closed. I locked it there at about 7pm and when I came back down at about 9:30pm it was gone.

Locked bike in front of Monroe Harbor marina entrance. When I returned, it was missing. Same day as Chicago Triathlon, so a lot of people in the area. When I arrived, a lady warned me not to park next to a blue bike that had parked next to hers and locked their bike to hers, she'd had their lock cut. I should've taken this as a sign to go elsewhere but I'm an idiot and here we are. Also my lock probably sucked. Feel like a moron.

Bike was left locked in front of my vehicle in the parking garage at 1957 N. Fairfield Rd. There were complaints of mass theft from the building, and residents were alerted on August 22nd. I noticed my bike was gone where I had locked it with a u lock and rope extension to parking bumper under my vehicle. The lock itself and rope attachment were taken along with the the bike. Helmet was left.

On August 19, 2024, at approximately 01:00 hours, a white male wearing a white cap, white shirt, black backpack, blue jeans, and white shoes used a screw to tamper with and jam the front/main entrance door. After gaining entry, the individual proceeded to the garage door entrance. Inside the garage, using a flashlight and his phone, he searched through and checked all storage cages and closets to see if there was anything valuable to steal. During this time, he moved our child's blue bike and stroller to access other items. The suspect then noticed our blue Tern Family electric bike, which was secured to a shelf. He moved several items in front of our car to clear his path and spent nearly 10 minutes breaking the lock. Once the lock was broken, he attempted to exit through the garage door, but when that failed, he exited with the bike through the same front/main entrance door he had initially used to enter, at approximately 01:15 hours. All of this was recorded by our apartment complex's video camera. The tools required to break the lock were carried in his backpack.

I parked my bike at E Dock at Belmont Harbor around 6:15pm, when I returned around 10:15pm, I saw that the cable had been cut and the u-lock was left at the scene

The bike was hanging in a shared garage of an alley. No sign of breaking in so the garage door may have been left open by a neighbor. There is no police report because I didn't have the serial number, I mistook the model number socket for a serial number. I'm pretty gutted, this bike was perfect.

Locked bike at 5:30 pm on Friday, gone the next day 5pm
