Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

* Since this picture has been taken- I swapped out the white seat for a black Trek seat and the hardware store review mirror was added to the left side. Came home around 11pm-ish last night (8/22) and this morning when I went outside to go to work (6:45am 8/23) nothing was there except for my cut lock.

Bike frame was locked to a bike rack on Green St, just north Jackson Blvd, at 6:00 PM. Bike and lock were gone by 8:45 PM.

Bicycle was locked to another biycle and to a good sized tree. Bike frames were locked together with u-locks and a cable was used to secure the 4 wheels to the frames and tree. Owners parked the bikes at 12pm on the sidewalk on the east side of CHicago Ave in Evanston across from the South Evanston Purple Line Station. when they came back for the bikes around 2:15pm they were gone. No locks or cable at the scene and the tree was unharmed.

My bike was locked up on my back porch for a few weeks with a newer u-lock w/flat key. Just move in recently. I belief that the thieves are sweeping the neighborhood. Our neighbor's bike was stolen a few days prior. Then, they couldn't cut the u-lock that I had, so they broke the railing and must have thrown the bike in the back of a truck/van. They also stole my roommate's front tire from his bike. It happened in the middle of the day. My roommate has left his bike on that same porch for over a year with no incidents. Has even left it unlocked for weeks at a time. There's been a great deal of stolen bikes reported in Lincoln Park area recently.

2 bikes were locked together and to a tree. Bike Frames were U-locked to each other on either side of the tree, a cable was also used to secure the 4 wheels to the frames and tree. Bikes were locked at 12pm outside the apartment buildings on Chicago ave. across from the South Evanston Purple Line Stop. When the owers came out to retrieve their bikes at 2:15pm they were gone. No sign of the cable or the u-locks and the tree was unharmed.

The bike was locked to a fence, in a high traffic area. The cable lock was cut, bike was stolen in a matter of minutes. the bike was last seen at 11am it was stolen by 11:15.

Bike was locked in front of Hub 51 to a street pole in a high traffic area. Admin note-- victim did not leave contact info or police report no.

Bike was stolen from a public bike rack at the Pratt St. Beach next to tennis courts at point where lakefront walking/ running path begins. This is a very public location, about 10 yards from the park district trailer set up facing the lake. I assume the lock was cut unless a very smart person watched me turn the tumblers. I have called 311 to file the report but I have been indefinitely placed on hold. I have no photos of the bike.

My neighbor saw a teenager wearing a gold shirt with a skateboard climb our fence and he took my bike and ran out the back gate with it.

Bike was stored in my garage, left garage open for 5 minutes when I went inside quickly on Monday afternoon around 4pm and a bum stole it from my garage. Witness described him as a tall, skinny, older man (50's) who was black. Have seen similar bum with messed up teeth prior to incident.

A thief cut the lock and it was my first bike and it was a Chaos Thruster and it meant the world to me Please Please Find it

I went to lunch and locked my bike to the bike rack in front of the Dunkin Donuts. When I came back the bike was gone and the cable lock was cut and left on the ground. A guy in Dunkin Donuts told me he saw the whole thing. We drove around looking for the individual with no luck. Apparently the theif was walking around with a backpack, saw the bike, pulled out cable cutters from the bag, snipped the lock and took off on my bike. :(

My bike was stolen in broad daylight off of a bike rack in front of my office building. The thief cut through my u-lock with some type of saw or grinder. There are marks on the lock where you can see trenches cut by the blade.

The cops suck

Incident was done at a heavy populated and trafficked area of the Chicago Midway Orangeline station. It was located on the bicycle rack closes to the "Kiss&Ride" parking lot where people are dropped/picked up from train station, bus station, and airport terminal.

Bike was locked to a black U-Frame bike rack outside of Maggiano's. I work in building next door. Busy area and have always locked bike there with others.

The bike was taken from a shared residential garage sometime between 9:30 & 10 PM on 8/15. There is no forcible entry to the garage, therefore the overhead door may have been accidentally left open for a short time. The differences between the current look and the way it is pictured is the addition of a Trek rear rack and grey/black ergo grips. The front pannier rack was not on there and neither were the bottle cage or the seat cover.

We had our tandem locked with a reinforced cable and ulock in our parking space in our condo garage. I, unfortunately, had only threaded the reinforced cable through the bicycle and attached it to the ulock which secured to a metal pole. The thief simply cut the cable, rolled away on the bike, and left our ulock dangling unharmed. We generally did not keep the tandem in the garage, but circumstances did not allow us to bring it into our unit on Friday night. Someone had left the garage door open for a few hours on Saturday morning, so the theft could have occured anytime between 7:00am and 10:00am.

Bike was last seen locked to my livestrong fixed gear, which was locked to my giant NRS1, which was locked to a steel tube. It had three locks on it in front of my enclosed parking space at 1910 s state st. I saw it saturday, august 13th at 5pm, then came down to car on the 14th at 3pm and it was gone. Bikes have been stolen and condos broken into in our building recently.

Bike was stolen from the corner of the old police station on addison (corner of addison and halsted) during market days. I had a kryptonite rope with key on the bike and I'm guessing it was cut. they couldn't get one of the wheels which was in a ulock with another one of my bikes (I couldn't angle both into it). No lock not bike was there when I got back a few hours later. Took place between 3pm and 6pm. The person who got my bike also got another of my bikes, a Black DAWES road bike that was in the same lock.
