Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was stored in locked shed in backyard of private residence. Shed locked with standard combination lock.

Bike was removed from my basement. Though the door was not locked, the thief had to open two very noisy doors and walk through my yard and gangway to get it.

Bike is in good condition. Was stolen from 1801 Larchmont Ave under train tracks. It was locked up. They took the bike and left the front tire whcih was still locked up.

went out of town, left bike in front of gym

The incident had been captured on a security camera next to the building at 200 W Monroe. There was one individual on video. He was a white male of undetermined age, with light blond or white hair. He entered the video from the Monroe Street side, wearing a back pack. He appeared to have a clamp type cutting device. He arrived on site at approximately 6:57pm and was gone with the bike at 7:01pm.

Someone walked off with my bike, it was in the front yard, with a gate, and lots of eyes on the yard, including my dogs and it was locked to itself with a U-lock...naive of me.

Bikes and Bike parts have been being stolen from this area lately. I have usually been very careful, but didn't assume in 15 minutes the bike would be gone. Someone in the area must be watching the bikes being locked up around here.

Stolen in broad daylight from Lake Cook Metra station despite two heavy duty locks

Bike was removed from the Forest Glen Metra stop bike racks.

Locked my Trek 7.1FX to the bike racks in front of the Chicago-Kent Law School at 9:10am, using cable locks through both wheels and the frame. Came out of class at 12:00pm, and the bike was gone, along with the locks.

After biking home from work at midnight, I brought my bike into my apartment and to our back porch, where I usually keep it. The stairs are covered and I hung the bike on a hook. However, I foolishly did not lock it. A thief must have seen one of my roommates' bikes in the visible section of the porch from the alley way and hopped the (locked) yard gate. Then the thief must've taken my bike (only my bike) from the hook and carried it over the gate and made off with it. This happened sometime over night as I went out on our porch around 11 am the next morning and it was gone.

Bike was locked to a 8 ft tall metal sign post at the Morton Grove Metra Station. No tampering of the sign was seen. A U-lock connected the frame to the post, and a cable lock was run through each tire, the frame, and then wrapped around the metal post. I'm guessing they somehow broke the locks.

My bike was stolen from my condo's garage. It was practically a brand new bike.

We had been in the taste of Chicago for about an hour. We had both locked are bikes, in the bike safety zone at the end entrance of millenium park, came back and her bike was missing (including the bike lock) which was locked right next to mine; however mine was still there. Probably due to the value of her bike or something like that, however it was a gift from my mother to her and really hurt her. Just trying to make things right and hoping that it turns up somewhere. I am beginning to grow suspicious if it was a worker who may have stolen it that works at the bike rental place right in front of the bike safety lock up zone (which proves to be not so safe after all).

As I was going to work early in the morning, I was not thinking well and inappropriately locked up my bike, I must have missed the frame and only locked up the front wheel. Well, they took the frame, leaving me my front wheel locked to the bike rack with a U-lock.

My bike was locked in the basement of my apartment building. The doors to the basement are supposed to be locked at all times. There have been a lot of thefts in this building before. Earlier this year my fiance had his laptop and tv stolen out of his apartment. I live on a college campus, so there are not many people around now that it's summer... it's probably easier to steal stuff.

Bike was JUST bought and was outside for less than 4 days. Last day it was seen and locked up was the afternoon of Saturday June 19th. It was noticed missing June 22nd at 6am

My bike was locked up on the front porch of my apartment, with a kryptonite u-lock and cable through both wheels to a metal fence on the first floor (6 feet above ground) along with two other bikes. The other bikes were left alone, whoever stole the bikes just took mine. When I left the house at 8am, it was missing.

i locked the bike to a rack when i went to the bar. when i came back after the bar closed, it was gone.

I came home at 2 AM Sunday morning. Brought my bike into locked storage gated area to my building. Sometime between 2 AM-10AM my bike along with another locked bike was stolen. Both Moutain Bikes. They did leave the cruiser alone.
