Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

On roof rack of car. The bike was fixed to the roof rack in a condo complex driveway and was being checked on every 10 minutes, so it happened fast.

I don't normally park my bike on the street. As the school started last week, we are biking to school and back on nice days. Since our building bike storage is so hard to get in and out from, especially in the morning rush to school, to make it easier, I started parking our two bikes at the bike rack on the NW corner of Montrose. Since it's in a well lit, busy street, I was hoping our bikes would be safe. This morning at 8am, I walked across the street to get our bikes to take my kid to school and I noticed something was wrong. My 6ft combination lock (which I used to lock both bikes) was cut and left at the scene. My daughter's purple Schwinn pixie bike was still there. Next to it there was another bike, just like mine, same size and blue, a Schwinn Cruiser Supreme. At first I thought it was my bike. This was the weirdest thing. Someone stole my bike and replaced it with another. Never seen such a thing. I am posting pictures of that bike on Facebook in an attempt to find the owner. The only picture of my bike I have is from back on the first day of school. I had bought my bike on craigslist about 2 years ago for $50 and I loved it. At least they didn't take my daughter's bike, she would have been devastated.

It got cut using a power saw. The person who stole it took 25 minutes to scout the area before he actually cut it. It took 2 and half minutes to cut through and then he rode off with the bike lock. I saw the entire incident on camera and it happen between 1am and 1:30am.

Bike was there last time we had checked and when woke up in the morning the bike was not there.

2 bikes were taken - mine (pictured), and my roommate's, a black and red hybrid bicycle. Neither of us have our serial numbers - we are unable to file a police report. Apprehended thieves in the middle of theft, so not all bikes were stolen from apartment area. Chased, unable to catch an accomplice (a young African-American boy, ~12-14 years old, who was looking into the area, trying to open the door again, and who ran away upon catching my eye.) Most likely, theft happened as someone followed a neighbor into the apartment complex, pretending to live there, since our intercom is broken and there isn't a way to gain access otherwise.

Bike was stolen out of garage while I was out of town for the weekend. Our garage door also got tagged with the letters tckjg.

Very upset. Someone stole my bike. My mother bought that bike for me. She has since passed away. I had it locked in front of a residential area. I just got it out of storage bought a lock for it and had plans to repair it. It was to big for me when she bought it but now it was pretty much the perfect size. It just needed some repairs. I filed a police report. Not worth very much but invaluable in sentimentality. I'm a home health care worker for my father a Veteran and I don't make very much money to buy a new bike.

Locked up bike before work, when I left work, Bicycle was missing.

Bike was locked at the northern end of the parking garage in my apartment building. There are security cameras in the parking garage but none pointing at the place the bike was kept. I have requested video footage from the building but have not yet been successful in obtaining footage. I noticed the bike early in the morning of 9/2 when I was heading to the airport. Bile lock was cut and left at the scene. We have not touched the lock in case of fingerprints.

Multiple bikes stolen from the rack in front of Andrew Jackson Language Academy.

The bike was removed from our locked storage room (fob access only for residents with registered bikes) within our apartment building (the LEX Chicago) sometime between 5:40 pm on Sept 7 when we returned the bike after a ride and 8:30 am on Sept 8 when we realized it was missing.

The bike was there when I left for work at 7:45am and gone when I got back at 5:15 pm.

Door to locked room was found open with the light on. Entrance towards rear of property.

Biked home from work around 1030 pm on 9/9/15. Put my bike in my garage like I always do and found the next morning my garage was broken into with my bike being the only stolen item.

He walked by, checked it out, then waited for our staff to leave and returned. He took something out of his bag (wrench?), then stole the wheel and walked off West down Homer St.

Bike locked to street sign overnight. Street sign disassembled and bike taken.

put my bike up the night befor and when i left for work the next morning it was gone lock and all

My beloved tiring bike was left in aa large residential garage, and taken sometime between Saturday 9/5 and Sunday 9/6. Several moves were occurring in my building, and I'm guessing a door was propped open that the thief popped into.
