Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Our garage was broken into and when I came home the door was open and the bike and Ulock that was on it was gone

Bike was locked with a Kryptonite U-Lock to a wooden table, affixed to the wall. Table was broken off from the wall to steal the bike along with the lock still attached. The robber had access to our basement because the lock to the basement door was broken, and our landlord did not fix it when we called, instead waited 12 hours in which time my bike was stolen.

My backpack, wallet and keys were stolen last Sunday and I lost my brand new Ulock in the incident because of the keys being lost. I have not been able to purchase a new lock so I have kept it in my locked inner courtyard. No one has keys to enter here except for a few residents we know. I was home at all times with it downstairs.

Someone (or people) broke into the basement of our building where laundry is. They sawed through the metal bike rack and took my bike. (It was locked with a newer U-lock--flat key.)

Bike was in garage at 3pm on August 21. At 2:30pm, the next day, it was gone. Believe this to have been a crime of opportunity (adjacent garage door was left accidentally open and so thief had access to other garage unit (mine) as well.

Bike was stolen from my garage, I have a very high suspicion that the thief is trying to sell it on craigslist. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/bar/4019828019.html

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.
