Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Stolen out front of "The Taste of Chicago"

I lost my keys inside Lillstreet Art Center. As some point in time overnight (between 5pm June 26th and 4pm on the 27th) my bike was stolen. I presume that the thief found my keys and unlocked my bike.

Two bikes were locked with a cable to a chicago light pole on a crowed sidewalk in front of a sidewalk restaurant patio. We went in to have a drink, and when we came out both bikes and lock were gone

Similar bike overlooked on 1st floor porch, locked with a U-lock. My bike was locked to the metal bars of the porch on the 2nd floor with a OnGuard Doberman Combo.

Bike was left on back deck after I came home from a ride. Someone gained access to back deck through garages, or climbed a fence. Bike was left unattended for 20 minutes.

I was asleep at the time, but it looks like someone chopped through the wrought-iron fence it was locked to (with a U-lock.) Really cool.

Two bikes were taken from our boiler room, probably by way of doors left open.

The bike and one other were in the boiler room of our condo unit, somehow they got in, probably through doors left open, and stole both bikes.

Bicycles were stored in the public laundry room of our building. They were there sunday morning, gone monday morning.

The bicycle was locked inside my storage room for my building. The room is only accessible through two locked steel doors.

Bike was locked on the back porch of a second floor apartment, through 4 wooden spindles of the porch. The thief used some sort of object to pry the four spindles loose and removed the bike and lock from the porch. The porch overlooks a locked walkway that leads to the garbage disposal...unsure if somebody left the gate open or if the thief scaled the fence. Last time I saw the bike was around 12:30 pm when the apartment was shown to possible new renters, and I showed them the back porch, where I noted that my bike was still intact. Noticed the bike missing this evening around 7pm. Bike looks very similar to this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Cdv220LrL._AA400_.jpg

I locked my bike up at 8:30 am in front of the business building, to attend a servsafe class. I did not go outside for out first break but a man who was in my class did. He was locked up to the same bike rack. I asked him when I found my bike was missing, if it was still there when he went outside. He said the bike was still there at break (around 10 am) but not there at lunch (around 12:30 pm)

I've stored my bike outside my door for a year. It is in an outdoor hallway that has a locked gate at each end. Usually I lock it to another bike, but I didn't last night. The thief took the time to remove the milk crate and the bungees holding it on, and left them along with the helmet that was in the crate. It was taken between 10pm Saturday night and 5pm Sunday evening. Another bike right next to it was left alone (it was locked to itself).

bike was locked with a U-lock to a "handicapped parking" street sign outside of my apartment building overnight, found it the next day missing. appears that the sign was unbolted, taken out of the ground, and bike slide off of pole:(

Only Used Cable Lock had A U lock on bike didn't use that day

Bike now has new white handle bars.

I left the bike at a rack on the lake side trail on LSD and Michigan at approximately 5:30 PM returning just after dark at about 9PM to find the lock cut and a stolen bike.

Bike was locked up on a high-traffic part of Western Ave. The bike was unattended for roughly a two hour span. Lock, helmet and bike were all missing, and the no parking sign which is was locked was undamaged.

Bike was left locked to a bike rack at approximately 2:40pm while at the beach (by restroom house just north of North Avenue beach). When I returned to the rack at approximately 4:30pm my bike was gone, without any sign of the lock. My friend's bike was left untouched. The event was immediately reported to police onsite with a notice put on out on the police radio. An officer stated that a bike matching that description was just seen riden by a white male wearing a white tee-shirt, but unfortuantely he was able to get away.
