Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Locked bike to street sign when I went into work and when I came out to leave, it was gone along with the lock. No traces of the lock or bike. It was in view of the front of the building on a pretty busy street.

The fence was sawed through to remove the bike. I have kept the bike locked there all summer when not in use. Recently, we have noticed some new kids in the area that in retrospect seemed to be scouting the area. They commented on my boyfriends bike once, in a way that they wanted (and eventually planned) to take it. About a week ago, the lights on his bike were stolen, so maybe that was their way to scout out our apt building?

I know I should know better. Left the kid's bike unlocked in the garage while we went to dinner. Returned to find our garage door kicked in and her bike gone. Filed a report with the 14th precinct - HW- 419428

My bike was locked through the frame and both wheels to a light post at 280 S. Columbus Drive. It was in plain view of the front doors. When I came to fetch it near 4, all that remained of the Master Lock Cable with an Integrated Lock was parts of the key lock--it had been split in half and was left on the ground.

My bike was locked (with a newer U-lock with a flat key) to the fence in front of my porch. Someone cut through the bar of the fence and lifted my bike right out.

Bike was missing after playing volleyball at the Center on Halsted between 7:15 - 10:15

I left my bike locked up to a pole last night (Aug 21) and forgot to come back down and get it later to bring it up to my apartment. I came down this morning at 7:30am and the bike was completely gone.

Our truck was parked in front of our art studio at 3300 W Potomac. My bike was in the back of our pick-up truck with the door to the hatch locked. Sometime between 3 PM and 5 PM someone picked the lock to the truck hatch and stole my bike and Kryptonite U-lock. It is a large, pink, old-school looking road bike. It is a fairly unusual looking frame in that it is so tall and well-maintained for its age. Note: The photograph of the bike I chose is not my actual bike.

my bike was locked to the bike rack at the west entrance of the Chicago Field Museum while I was at work. I arrived around nine and when I left at 545 my bike was gone.

I live in a walk-up and in our backyard we have a door that is unlocked normally. It leads to the rest of the stairs and porches. There are five bikes in the basement area that is down the stairs and to the right of this entrance. I used my bike yesterday morning and locked the back wheel and frame with my u-lock. I came up the stairs and looked at the bikes, noticing mine was gone. There are four still there but mine is missing.

Bike was locked to a fence in our apartment parking (4827 N Sheridan Rd). Bike was last checked on at 12:00AM August 19th. I went to check on the bike at 5:00AM on August 20th and the bike along with the ULOCK was missing. The fence had been cut. I have my reciepts of purchase.

I had a ABUS Bordo Ecoution 6000 Black Folding Lock 90cm around the bike front wheel and frame attached to a metal fence outside my apartment at 833 W Buena st. (Irving and Broadway area). Many other bikes were locked to the metal fence. I last saw the bike coming home at 12am on 8/20 and it was gone when I went out to ride it at 1130am on 8/20. The fence had been sawed or sliced in some way and the bike and lock were completely removed. No other bikes were stolen. I had stored the bike there for 3 days and purchased it a few days before that. It was never used and in perfect condition. The only distinguishing characteristics are three art stickers I placed on the bike when I bought it of R.Blume abstract art. The lock may be difficult for them to remove and they may sell the bike in parts.

The bike was stolen before 10:00am on Sunday, but after Saturday afternoon. The bike was located inside my back porch which was enclosed.

Got distracted when I arrived at work and forgot to go back to lock my bike.

Last seen at about 8 or 9pm the night before. Woke up to find bike missing.

Bike was parked inside a roped off area at the Chicago Full Moon Jam just south of Foster Ave by the lakefront. Bike flipped upside down, along with several other bikes, within the roped off area, right next to expensive performance gear. Gear not taken, just bike. Bike was in place at 10:15pm. Organizers began taking down rope barriers for area and bike was gone by 10:30. Another bike, parked right next to mine (black, thin frame) was left in place and not claimed by anyone by the time all organizers were ready to leave & park nearly empty. It's possible the owner of the black bike took mine by mistake, but also likely owner of black bike just forgot about it. Black bike i being held by event organizers.

Bike was locked to bike carrier in a crowded open air parking lot near end of Wright ride this Sunday. Left bike for approximately one hour, when I returned the bike lock cable was cut and bike was gone. I immediately filed a report with Oak Park police.
