Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was locked to fence near parking for my apartment building. The post it was attached to was thick, but the cross bar at the top was not. The top crossbar was cut, and the bike was lifted away and stolen.

Bike was stolen from bike rack in front of Whirlaway Lounge (3224 W. Fullerton). Cable lock was cut & left near bike rack.

Stolen Velocity B43 with black wheel and white tire (front) right outside westfest in Ukranian Village. A lot of other people's stuff got stolen too.

Bike was stolen from locked garage. Overhead garage door was left open.

Someone cut the lock between 1 am and 7 am in front of my friends apartment.

Bike was parked next to White Speciallized Allez Sport, which was also stolen. Stolen in the middle of the night.

Was parked next to a small black Bianchi with a black milk crate on back. Both bikes stolen by being cut.

Locked up (newer u-lock w/flat key) on Fullerton at the n/e corner of Sawyer. There were people down the street in front of Whirlaway. The sign post I was locked to was unbolted from base and slid up past my lock to get the bike.

Bike was locked up at 11 AM on Sunday, on Monday morning it was missing.

Incident occurred after "Tour de Fat" bike and music festival sponsored by Fat Tire Brewing at Palmer Square Park in Logan Square. At the rear of the event, completely within the square, near Albany Avenue, there were fence-like barricades approximately 4' tall and 12' wide to which bikes were locked. I locked my bike to one of these barricades. I left my bike there at approximately 5pm to visit friends in the area. I returned to the park at around midnight and the barricades were gone, as well as my bike. Since it had been dark when I returned to get my bike that night, I returned to the park again the next day to confirm that the bike and barricades were indeed removed. It is possible that, at some point while I was away, my bike may have been impounded or stored at another location by the authorities while the barricade to which it had been locked was removed from the site. Since the U-lock is also missing, I do not know for sure whether or not the U-lock was cut to separate the bike from the barricade, although I suspect the lock probably was cut.

Somebody cut the lock and took it between 5:00 pm and 6:45 pm while I was in the Davis Theater.

I locked my bike up to one of the thick bars of a sidewalk trashcan outside of west fest yesterday at about 4 pm. It was on the west side of damen just north of the bust stop for Chicago ave (to catch the bus heading south). The store seemingly has a camera pointing in this general direction. I don't know if it would be of any use. Any advice? I had a kryptonite fuhgedaboutit (or however it is spelled) super thick lock. The area was extremely busy so it boggles my mind how it could have been stolen, unless I somehow did not lock it securely. Which would be surprising. I do remember jiggling the whole to bike to make sure it was secure. There were no loose pieces on the trash can. No evidence of anything having been cut or tampered with.

Attended the Chinatown 5k event. Arrived at Chinatown Plaza at 7:30am and locked bike to fiance's bike. Fiance's bike was locked to the bike rack on the edge of the plaza outside tent perimeter. 8:00am the 5k race started. 8:45am checked on both bikes and they were still there after the race. Attended post-race event at the tents. Roughly around 9:30am the Awards announcement began on stage. 9:40am walked to bike rack and one bike was missing and the lock was on the ground

Locked in front of business, went into yoga studio, came back an hour, and it was gone.

Bike was locked to a industrial metal fence by Michigan Ave and Pearson. I locked it along with 3 other bikes; 2 which were stolen. There were security cameras and security offices not to far.

My bike was kept in my garage...a roommate left the garage door open and bike was taken from inside

I locked my bike on Columbus Ave. and went to the Taste of Chicago. There was a police presence on the street.

I had locked my bike up at around 4:00 in the morning to a bike rack outside of California and Division in front of several closed businesses. I walked out at 5:45 to ride my bike to work to find it missing. I did not go outside to check it between 4am to 5am. I am assuming it was earlier in the morning due to the traffic that usually happens around the later evening. The bike lock is also gone.

Locked bike to street post with a U-lock, both through frame and front tire, outside of the Whirlaway Lounge (3224 W. Fullerton) around 11:45 PM. I'm typically wary about locking to a pole, but there was a door man for the establishment hanging outside. When I exited it was apparent the pole had been unscrewed and lifted so that the bike and lock were able to slide right off and be take. Pole was replaced to previous position, only with the screw missing.
