Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was taken 6/29-7/1/2011. Found stolen around 6:00pm 7/1/2011. Cable was cut to take the bike, but the front wheel was left (on a U-lock). Attached image is a stock image -- the Cannondale logo is more pink than orange on the actual bike

Stolen with another bike, also unlocked, under a porch, out of view from the street or alley. We left them there for a few hours to run an errand and when we came back the bikes were gone. Some kids had been seen messing around in the alleyway, so maybe they were stolen by a local.

Locked it securely overnight in front of a shoe repair shop in front of my building. The next night it wasn't there.

I came into my apartment last Saturday(the 16th) night at 2am and put my bike foolishly outside my door and then accidentally fell asleep. I woke up to a start at 8am Sunday and checked and the bike was gone. I have since checked the video surveillance system of the apartment and filed a police report. I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE AND STILLS OF THE THIEF LEAVING THE BUILDING WITH MY BIKE!!! I have contacted bike shops around my neighborhood and checked the Swap-O-Rama. So far to no avail.. Please help.

The bike was locked to a street sign on the corner. Upon leaving the event we realized there was no street light at the corner and the bicycle was gone. We returned in the morning because it seemed unlikely that a u-lock was cut through and the rear wheel was chain locked to the bike. Upon inspection, we found that four street signs in the area had had the bottom bolt removed and the posts could be lifted out of the holder.

I had left bike to be at lunch at a colleague's apartment. I was gone for about 3 1/2 hours. The bike was secure to a bike rack with a Kryptonite U-Lock. I came back to get the bike at about 5.30 pm and didn't find the bike at the location I had locked it. There were other bikes secure to the same bike rack but mine was gone.

Locked up my bike in front of Paulina Meat Market to the bike rack at around 10 pm. Walked out of my friends apt at Midnight to find my bike and lock gone. Locked up with a Giant 3.5' Surelock Force 2 chain lock and cables running through the wheels. No sign that it was ever there.

Locked my bike at the bike racks on the west side of Treasure Island on Wells. Lock was a 1/2" - 5/8" coated cable with the lock included in the cable. Bike was locked through the frame and rear wheel to the rack. After only 15 to 20 minutes, I returned to nothing. No bike, no lock.

Bike and helmet were locked to bike rack outside of the Empty Bottle with a U-lock. Upon leaving the Empty Bottle, the helmet was still locked to the rack, but the bike was gone.

Bike was stolen from garage.

Bike was locked to a pole for about 30 minutes with a newer u-lock w/flat key. Right on corner of deming and clark, in front of businesses and many sidewalk passersby. Pole was unhinged and bike and lock taken.

A mover who had moved out a tenant during the day was seen in the evening lurking around the apartment building. I think the mover stole my bike.

"Kryptonite" brand u-bolt was cut through, with only a bit left on the ground.

The bike was locked with two u-locks, one attaching the front wheel to the bike rack and one attaching the rear wheel to the frame. The bike was taken from the bike racks at the Washington Street exit of Ogilvie transportation center. The bike is pretty dirty on the bottom, the handlebar tape is starting to fall off and is not aligned, the handle bar itself is a little crooked. The picture in this report is not the bike I own but is the same exact model as mine.

I locked my bicycle with 2 locks. It was not big U-locks. One was a fairly sturdy combination cable lock, the other was a fairly cheap cable lock with a non-integrated key lock. I had locked both the front wheel with the frame at the bike rack. And the back wheel with the frame and the seat at the bike rack. I went to work in the morning and came back to an empty bike rack. It was a really busy day with plenty of people all around the bike rack. This did not prevent someone from stealing it with the locks.

The theifs left multiple bikes locked up at the location, and stole the newer model bike. all the bikes in the area have the same cable lock.

Bike was behind a locked, closed in fence approximately 8/9 feet tall. It was leaning against the porch against another bike. Thief moved the other bike to steal my bike and left the other bike there.
