Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

My bicycle was locked inside the covered porch area of the coach house I live in, in the Pilsen area (ie, the bike was not locked, but the door was locked). It was there last night around midnight and missing when I left the house this morning at 6:30. I believe the door was locked when I left, but I was already panicking at the loss of my bicycle and might be remembering wrong.

My frame was either damaged and then taken or I slipped up and didn't lock my bike through both the frame and wheel like I thought I had.

Bike was locked at Harlem Blue line station bike rack with a cable lock at 7:30am. When I came back for the bike at 5pm, the entire bike was missing. Other bikes' parts seemed to have been stolen as well since several bikes near mine had missing frames and wheels.

Someone must have come into the locked storage room of the apartment building by sneaking in, or someone else leaving door ajar. Many other bikes are still safe and remain untouched in that same storage space.

I went into my garage at about 9pm Sunday, Sept 8, 2013. I saw my bike was missing from my garage, somehow stolen.

Locked over night outside my door as many times. This time i came out to no bike being there. Although I know about street sign poles being unscrewed this was not the case. someone must have cut the lock.

my bike was locked to a bike rack on wood, just north of north avenue. my girlfriend's bike was locked to mine. we left them overnight, last seen around 10pm Saturday (9/7) night. we returned around 4pm the next day to find our bikes missing as well as both U-locks.

Bike was sitting in Garage. I think someone accessed the garage using a tool that defeated the automatic door open. I entered the garage to put out the trash and found the door open and the bike missing.

The bike was in a locked apartment building (6 unit building). It was either stolen by a resident of the building or someone broke into the building. The other bike that was in the same spot in the building was not stolen.

Bike was stored outside on a third floor free standing balcony. Thief climbed fire escape and jumped across 4 other free standing balconies to reach bike (handprints and tire tracks can be seen on top of grills going across balconies).

Bike was hidden behind a stairwell in front if my house. Someone got in through mildly secure gate and took 1 of 2 bikes sitting there unlocked. In south Logan Square neighborhood

My bike was locked up in my gated and locked back yard in a spot that was visible from the street for 24 hours. I noticed my bike was missing and filed a police report right away. My bike has yellow brake cables that were really unique and it probably still has the U-lock locked to the frame (newer U-lock with flat key). Please let me know if you see this bike.

So this is what happen I left my bike outside of a local store and next to carts and it have camera and everything their then I went inside and buy some stuff then 3 min later it got stolen when I came out didn't see who took it people told me it was a male and they didn't know which way so I went to the store and ask for a camera from that time and they show it to me I have proof of that person taking it but noting the police can do about it I file a report and so on.

The fence that the lock was locked to was cut: it looked as if the bar of the fence was cut with bolt cutters or a type of snipping tool. The lock and bike were then lifted up off the pole. The lock was removed with the bike.

Lock was only through the front wheel and front part of the frame. Bike frame and back tire were taken, front tire was left with lock.

This bike was in the gangway to a friend's garden apartment: there are only two units there, and gates at either side of the building are locked 24/7. They did not steal my friend's bike, which he stores there safely every day.

Our son's bike, along with three others, were parked/stored in our building's locked front lobby regularly for the past few months due to drain backup problems in the basement bike room. Sometime between 1:30am and 9:30am on Saturday, thieves somehow got through/around the locked front gate of our building. They proceeded to play the wood frame away from the panes of glass next to the locked front door of our building. This allowed a pane to slip down, and they reached through the open pane to gain access through the front door. One of the four bikes had a U-lock attached just to its back tire; that bike was spared. Our son's bike was his 6th birthday gift and was taken along with 2 adult bikes.

Stupid me. Just bought a new house, and I left my bike unlocked in my backyard while I took my young daughter into the house to get settled. Came back out and the bike was gone (along with my kryptonite mini ulock unlocked in the front wire basket). My fault for not locking it, but bike thieves still suck.

Bike was locked to a pay meter side near the patio seating at Rise sushi restaurant. Checked on my bike at 10 pm after dinner and again at 12:00 am and it was still locked up. Came back at approximately 2:00 am to find that my bike and lock were stolen.
