Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

On March 30th approximately 1 p.m. give or take a half hour In front of the Sears Tower across from the pizzeria located in a bike rack I went up to the on the Sears Tower and when I was done with my visit came down and it was missing/ stolen and my brake cable left on bike rack.. I was with my fiance her bike is bright orange so if you look at the cameras in the area you will see me /we locked our bikes together at the same time.

Not sure exactly when it was stolen. It was last seen 5:30pm 4/28/16 and noticed it was missing 5:30pm 5/2/16.

We live on the third floor, bike was locked to wooden fire escape railing. The wood was knocked out and bike taken. Other bike beside it untouched.

I leave my bike on the back porch of my 2nd floor apartment. When I went to use it to ride to work this morning (5/4/16), I saw it was gone. I asked my neighbor when she last saw it and she said yesterday afternoon (5/3/16). My neighbors occasionally leave our back gate unlocked, so I believe someone spotted my bike from the alley, saw the back gate was open, walked up my porch steps and stole my bike. I believe this happened the night of (5/3/16).

This is the 2nd brand new hybrid bicycle stolen off my locked bike rack in the last year. I live in a 7 unit, 4 story condo building. There was no sign of forced entry. Each time the thief only stole my new bike and left the other alone. This time they also stole my power washer.

The thief broke through the glass pane of the door in my basement to reach in and unlock the door. The thief then entered my apartment and took the bike.

Locked the bike through the front wheel and frame around 1:55-2:00 in front of Harold Washington College. Came out of class at 3:50 to find out it was stolen.

I left my bike on my back porch, out of view, on the second floor against my grill. It would not have been visible from the alley, and our back area has a fence and parking spaces. Someone must have walked the back porch looking for anything easily mobile.

Combination was set the same as another bike that got stolen the night before. The combination of the first lock was too easy to crack (only 1 number off from code). Augh. Live and learn.

The combination lock was set with only 1 number off from the code, so we think the thief just fiddled with it and figured it out. Dumb on our part. We won't do that again!

Bike was in a garage that was closed upon leaving. Something caused the door to open on its own and the bike was missing by the time it was discovered.

The bike was locked in between two SEL engineering building at UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago) along with number of other bikes, most of them old and cheap, the same spot as every day.

Bike Locked on Property at Hayes Managed 4809 N. Ravenswood Ave

I last saw my bike locked to the bike rack on Friday April 29 at 9am. I was out of town for the weekend and when I returned on Sunday May 1 at 2pm the bike rack had been destroyed and the bike was gone.

The bike was left hanging in a secure garage from a hook along with about 20 other unlocked bikes. An African American man, in his mid 20s to mid 30s, of around average height walked into the apartment complex, following a pizza delivery person who opened the door for him. He covered his face as he walked by security cameras, went out into the garage through a back exit, and took my bike from the hook it was hanging on. I have this on camera.

I got home from work around 7 pm left it in my back balcony of my apartment like I always do. Then around 10: 20 something I when out to throw garbage out and it was still there. Then by the next morning I was walking out to get my dogs leash and i notice my bike wasn't there. It was around 10 am, when I realized it was gone.

Multiple bikes were stolen over multiple days from residential garage. On surveillance camera you can see 2 people using what looks like a reciprocating saw and quickly dispatch the lock and take it with them. The roll the bikes out of the side door. Done in the middle of the day. Bike locked by frame to heavy duty bike rack. Bike had seat and wheel locks.

Went in basement and bike was missing, no other items missing.

As above, bike was locked to bike rack on 55 East Jackson. Apparently stolen in broad daylight in the loop :-(
