Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Efficient thief...

Bike was in a locked garage. Not sure how anybody was able to get into the garage but I miss my bike :(

3rd floor porch surrounded by three walls, viewable only from lot next door; someone had to crawl over the locked fence and grab it from the 3rd floor porch

Its a fairly busy area and the rack does not seem to be compromised in any way. I suppose the lock can be messed with. grumble. A couple of the racks seem to be newly bent...

lock to com ed guide line on grass between sidewalk and curb

Bike was locked to a city sign next to my house at 11pm on april 1st. When I awoke at 630am on april 2nd I noticed that someone had removed the city sign post from the ground and my bike was missing. I had used a kryptonite New York forgettabottait u-lock. It was locked from the front tire and frame to the pole. I hope the thief has fun trying to remove it!

The lock was obviously cut through with a sawzall or something similar. The only description someone gave was that he was tall and carrying the bike away northbound on Milwaukee.

I locked the bike frame, seat and front tire up to a street sign. I did this with a cable lock on Lasalle near Chicago ave. I assume someone cut the cable lock and took the bike and the cable lock. There was nothing on the sidewalk left where I locked the bike up. The bike was only locked up for only 2 hours but it was in the evening/ busy time. So it would have been easy for someone to cut the lock.

Kryptonite NY Fughettaboutit lock was cut. Bike stolen sometime during the day on 4-1-2010 from a bike rack at the Edgebrook Metra station.

This bike (the Raleigh) was locked only to itself (front wheel to downtube) and hanging in my garage. it is the bike picturred except that it no longer has the rack installed and now it has Nitto Mustache handlebars wrapped in brown bar tape. Thieves managed to open overhead garage door with brute force. Also stolen were a woman's Trek 7200 Multitrack, hunter green color, and a small man's Trek 700 Multitrack, gold color. The gold Trek is very distinguishable because it has a GT BMX stem and Dyno BMX handlebars, but still retaining the original Gripshifters and brake levers. Both Treks will be missing their front wheels as those are still locked to the rack inside of my garage.

U-lock was locked through the back wheel and the frame and then locked to a cable with a padlock that was connected to two eye bolts in a closed garage. The eye bolts were sunk into two studs.

the u-lock was securing the other two bikes on the other side of the bike rack. the cable was through both wheels and my frame. they cut the cable and left the other two bikes

The bicycle was parked under a covered porch and there are two doors in the back of the building. It was hidden from plain sight. Either someone else in the building didn't lock the back door or the thief got in through one of the windows.

Locked up bike through both tires to bike rack outside and to the right of Noble Tree Cafe at 11:30. It was not the only bike locked on the rack however I made sure not to lock in the other bike. I double checked the lock before I went inside to be sure it was fastened securely. When leaving the cafe 8 hours later bike and lock were both gone.

my friends brother wanted to play with the bike before he went ti qua do so he left it in our yard in a no tresspassiung zone

At 2:30pm today I locked up my bike with a U-lock through the frame to a "no parking" sign in front of a loft building to work for a few hours. When I came out at 5:30pm, the bike was missing along with the U-lock; there was no damage to the sign, and another bike locked up to a nearby pole was still there. The bike is a Redline 925 with bullhorn handlebars, a gel "anatomical relief saddle for women," a Planet Bike light on the front with a broken clasp held together with black plumbers tape.

Bike was in my garage, someone took it. Reward for return. Thanks.

I had my bike locked on the backyard fence all day while I was inside my friends home. We went outside for a bit, approximately at 3:30 went on a walk and were back around 4pm. The bike was stolen within this short period, which makes me believe the burglar saw us leave. It was locked to a residential fence and cut off.

Bike was in the building's locked bike storage room. Most bikes, including mine, are not kept locked because the room is supposed to be secure. It is possible that the construction workers that were working on the building had access to that room. Missing since Christmas. Police report was filed, but I can't find the report number at the moment.

Parked bike in front of office at 9 AM with 2 OnGuard U-locks (had just had previous bike stolen 2 weeks before so I was paranoid). Ulocks were through each wheel and frame locked onto city bike rack. Came out at the end of the workday and bike and locks were gone.
