Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

While the bike picture is not my exact bike it is very similar. My bike was locked to a No Parking sign in the parkway just left of the driveway to my apartment building. After I returned home from dinner on Sunday night my bike was still where I had locked it and when I left for work on Monday morning at 7:00am I am 99% sure it was still there but when my boyfriend left for work half an hour later the bike was not there. The bike along with the lock were taken but the street sign appears undisturbed. I have only been locking my bike in this location since June 23rd and would ride it to work (a mile away) locking it each night to the street sign due to the fact there is no gate, bike rack, or bike storage at my building. If the lock was cut, I would assume it would have been left behind but the fact that the bike and the lock are gone leads me to assume the bike and lock might have been lifted over the sign but I don't know how that would be possible or how it would go unnoticed... The bike was a gift from my mom and I have only had it since Father's Day (June 19th) of this year. This is my second bike to be stolen in two-years so to get it back would be so amazing but I know the odds of that are worse than slim.

Someone cut my u lock and ran off with my bike

It was parked in the loop. Wabash and Washington .

i left my bike outside of my friend's apt. i left my bike unlocked because i was on my way over to another friends house. Plans changed and i stayed the night where my bike was, completly forgetting that it was unlock. the next morning it was missing. it could of been stolen during any time of the night.

http://velospace.org/node/16790 not the same bike, but similar body. it had white drop handle bars, plenty of scratches.... used but wonderful to ride. it was within the gate of the porch, was there for a month, wheels were not attached, underneath a blanket and behind other stuff. silly but it got stolen the day we meant to put it together. possibly stolen while friends were inside the apt pretty bummed about this

I locked my bicycle to the fence near the stairs and bike racks inside the turnstiles at the Logan Square CTA Blue Line stop between 8:30am and 9:00am on Monday, July 11. When I returned to the station around 6:45 pm, the bicycle was no longer there. There was no sign of the lock or my helmet that I had left hanging from the handlebars. I called CTA at 1-888-YOUR-CTA thinking the bicycle may have been removed by CTA employees because it was locked to the fence and not the bike racks (they were all full due to the crazy rain storm that morning). The woman I spoke to said that CTA does not remove bicycles from the fence and that it had likely been stolen.

I got to work @ 7am, I locked my bike to the bike rack, like I always do, by 9am it was gone, the lock was cut clean and left there. there are security cams @ work and security personnel are reviewing the tapes

Inside job of some low-life who lives within the building since the cable was cut clean through.

Bike was locked on my back porch. only people living in the building or people driving through the ally would have been able to see it. Someone took a large 2x4 and broke off the rail on the porch that the bike was U-locked to. happened between mid night on the 10th and 9 am on the 11th.

I think someone came on my back porch and stole my bike

I was having dinner at Sip and I went out afterwards and was going to pick up my bike in the morning. The thief cut the fence that it was locked up to and took teh U-lock and everything.

Stolen from the southwest corner of the Castaway's bike lockup area.

Bike locked to a street sign outside Cricket Wireless at corner of Milwaukee and Belden. Locked with a ULock with frame and front tire with helmet. Helmet was a red nutcase with white stripe and 2 white sharks. I was gone for two hours and returned to missing bike. I checked the sign and noticed that it was removeable from the base. I spoke with employees of Cricket store and they said a few bikes had been stolen from that location recently. Please let me know if you have any information.

Bicycle was stolen from an open garage, not locked at time of theft.

The bike was chained to the front porch with lock and chain and was taken at around 1:30 am. There is a big bush in front of the house that blocks the view of the street and thats where my daughter parked her bike this time.

Locked bike to bike rack in loading dock area for the building at 200 W. Madison. The building provides the racks for employees of the building. I locked it at approximately 8 a.m. When I left building around 12:15, the bike was gone. I reported it to building security. There are security cameras, but building could not tell me if they saw the theft.

Bike was locked with another bike on a bike rack outside the main entrance to Lincoln Park. Cable was wrapped through both tires and around the frame. Cable was cut and other bike was not stolen.

I went to work and happened to check for the bike on a break and saw that it was gone.

The Felt F65 is pictured on the left. Had locked up with the K2 on the bike path right next to Castaways on North Beach. I didnt have a Ulock yet so had a Kryptonite cable ran through the back tires, frame, and removed front tires. I had the tire rod with me to both bikes so they must have had extra ones with them.

Very new Electra Ticino bicycle stolen in front of Gleacher Center at 450 N Cityfront Plaza between the hours of 10am and 12:15pm. Bicycle was locked to bike rack, but both bicycle and lock (U-lock + cable) were gone when revisiting the location a couple of hours after locking it up. The bicycle is grayish brown, with brown leathery wrapped handlebars. The most distinguishable feature on the bike is that it is missing its front fender, but the back fender is still installed. There are also minor scratches along the bottom piping of the bike frame where the paint has worn off. There is a loose white front reflector on the handlebars and the front brake needs tightening.
