Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I forgot my U-lock and locked the bike to a bike rack with a cable lock in a heavily trafficked area, just outside the Anatomy building on the UC campus. I saw it at noon and it was gone when I came back out at 6.

Theft in process. A guy with an angle cutter and a USPS van was seen cutting your bike. Security was alerted, check with them. Good luck.

This bike was stolen from my apartment in the summer I did file a police report but seemed to have lost my copy of it.

Left my bike there overnight. Came back the next day and it was gone.

Bike was in back on Honda Civic. It was covered w/ a sheet. Both car and bike were stolen. Police found the car 4 days later w/o the bike.

My bike was always locked to the same light pole across the street from my apartment building. It was securely locked using two ULocks and a cable (locked to frame at both front and back wheels, cable connected the two locks and secured bike to pole. I have no idea how someone could have gotten my bike :( It's been "safe" there for the two years I've been parking it there. The light pole is impossibly tall. I saw that it was missing - nothing left behind.

I left town on Fri night (Jan 30), came home on Sun night (Feb 1) to find that my bike was missing from the garage. It is possible that my landlord, who I share the garage with, left the door open and unattended for 5 min while unloading her vehicle. I saw a bike posted on Craigslist that matches my bike... hmm...

Stolen between Friday evening and Monday morning. I have a picture of the bike in the actual location it was stolen.

I live on a corner lot, so my side entrance garage is exposed to everybody when the overhead door is open. I assume somebody saw the bikes when I was getting the snowblower one day and decided to come back at a later time. I have no idea when it was stolen as the garage is only used for storage. I saw the bikes a few weeks ago when I was in the garage putting some Christmas decorations away. However, when I returned from a business trip, I saw my garage service (not overhead) door open. I actually didn't think twice as I thought I left it open. I live in a very safe neighborhood with no theft activity that I've ever heard of. The old timers still leave their front doors open! As I was in the garage today, it felt a little empty and I couldn't put my finger on it. I went back about ten minutes later and realized the bike was not there. It's strange because they didn't take the $700 snowblower or $400 lawnmower... just the bikes (my wife's Trek, as well).

Bike was locked between the end of the bike rack and a concrete support pillar for the building. smaller new york lock and keyway facing up and toward the concrete pillar limited access for forcing lock off.

I use this bike and trailer to haul my commercial packages to the post office and have been doing it for over two years. I have been bringing the bike into the main lobby and usually locking it to a railing under the escalator (with the permission of the janitor/custodian). That day, I didn't have the cable and lock with me and left it where I usually do, instead of trying to bring the bike and trailer to the second floor in the elevator (too small for bike and trailer). When I was finished with the postal clerks, I saw immediately that it was missing and went back to the clerks - just in case a security person moved the bike, then direct to USPS postal police and then filed a CPD report. The following morning, I did see the tire tracks of the bike and trailer - that someone had walked out of the building and bounced down the stairs - probably heading east on Harrison. THERE SHOULD BE A SURVEILANCE CAMERA/DOCUMENTATION of the theft.

Parked to City bike rack with other bikes at noon, gone when I returned at 6pm. Kryptonite cable lock with built in key lock, was mounted to the frame via connector, gone with bike.

Bike was left unlocked in the basement of 800 Sherman Ave, which is locked. Between September 1 and September 15 it disappeared.

This bike was recently donated to West Town Bikes from the UIC Police. My police friend who dropped it off told me he nabbed the guy who stole it shortly after the fact. The perpatraitor was found with several stolen wheels as well last September shortly after school had started. My officer friend said he would of like to have had it returned to the owner but there is no registration record of it. I told him I would post it around to see if anyone would claim it before WTB had it's way with it. Give me an accurate description of the seat under the bag and arrangements can be made to return it to you.

Garage broken into.

Someone broke into my house but only got as far as the downstairs door. They simply pushed in the front door, as the door jamb wasn't in the best shape. The bike was at the bottom of the stairs, just inside that door, at the foot of the stairs that lead up to my apartment door. It's a private entrance. It most likely someone on my street or even in my building who saw me leave for the holiday first thing Monday at like 5 am. It was the afternoon when my neighbor saw my door open.

Bike locked to bike rack on the side of the building in the loop.

The bicycle was lock thru each tire and frame on a metal bar type fence behind stairs in the gangway of the apartment building I live at. Someone had to have either knwn the bicycle was there, or really sought it out.

Our building was burglarized and 5 bikes were stolen from our basement storage units, where they were not locked, but had been there for weeks. Older bikes weren't taken , but newer ones were, along with tools.

I brought the bike into my backyard and left it there unlocked. A bunch of kids jumped fences that night and stole my bike easily. When i woke up it was gone. I know this is late notice and not well filled out but I just found this. I'll try to find some pictures of it
