Pedego Moto Ebike was stolen from in front of workplace on July 7. Bike was locked to metal bike rack, lock is also missing.

bike was kept in a locked garage. perpetrator must have figured out a way into the garage.

Bike was missing after coming home from July 4th weekend. Unsure exactly when it was taken between July 3rd and July 6th. Bike was located next to several others on a bike rack within the locked gates of a residential building.

Locked bike in front of work. Came out at the end of the night and it was gone.

I last used the bike on 6/29/2025 and put it in our locked garage. I was away for work all week from 6/30/2025 to 7/4/2025. When I got back to the garage, the bike was gone. Unfortunately, since I was away all week, I do not have a better estimate of when the bike was stolen. We do share the garage with two other cars. It was suspected that one of the neighbors left the garage door open accidently for a few hours and in this period someone went into the garage and took the bike (they neighbors mentioned the door was left open on 7/1,so this is the suspected date, but cannot say with 100% confidence this was the day it was stolen). The bike was not locked with its U-lock since the garage door is usually shut and locked.

Bike lock was broken and bike tooked

Walked in to my garage this morning to find one of my bikes missing. Not exactly sure which day it was stolen.

CTA Train Station - Western Orange Line did not allow for me to take my bike to Loop in morning. Was told to lock the bike in bike rack inside. Arrived at 5 PM CT and bike was no longer there and CTA personnel say they are not responsible.

Bike was left leaning on the fence inside front yard and unattended for about 30 minutes, was stolen in between 3:50 - 4:30 pm.

I first locked up my bike on June 29th – prior to this I did not have a bike in Chicago. I hung it next to two other bikes (one of which has been there without a lock for weeks) in a nook underneath back stairs at the far end of the alley, completely out of view from the alleyway. I locked up the bike with a metal chain looped through a hole in the wooden frame, and used a combination padlock through the front tire. I then used a combination U-lock that locked the bike frame to the front tire. According to the security footage, a man walked down the alley at 3:35am and seemed to know exactly where the bikes were stored. He went back to his car and grabbed a tool to cut the lock or chain, and returned at 3:38. By 3:40 you can see him removing the bike, and at 3:42 he drives away. Given that my bike was hanging there for less than 48 hours, out of view of any passersby, it appears that this was a targeted theft with the thief having prior knowledge of where to find the bikes and going after mine specifically. This is corroborated by the fact that there was another bike right next to it that was easier to steal (no lock) and several Amazon packages also right next to it that would have been equally easy to steal.

The business would not allow me to leave my bike inside even for a few minutes so I left it in front. It was stolen pretty quickly.

Don’t know exactly when it was stolen as I had not gone in my bike room for a few days. Went in there today looking to ride it and it was gone.

Someone entered our gated back parking lot and climbed up to our porch via the rear staircase. It appears that they then cut the chain lock holding the bike to the porch.
