If anyone has seen these bikes around please let me know!!!Thanks!!!

The bike was taken from my back porch, which is on the second level above Sedgwicks Bar. A Kryptonite U-lock was locked to the frame, front wheel, and wood slat on the porch. The slat was kicked in, and the bike and lock were taken.

Apartment was burglarized and bike was stolen. Happened between 12-8 pm on sunday july 31st.

Left mine and my friend's bike outside for 2 minutes outside McDonalds. His was a purple Schwinn mountain bike about medium sized which also got stolen. I am more concerned about my BMX bike because it was 500 dollars. We went back and weren't there. Someone told me 2 people got on and rode away. Ran about 2 blocks and saw nothing. Called the cops and made a police report. Going later to see if McDonalds to see if they got it on the security camera.

My friend's apartment has a locked glass foyer area. Several people came up the stairs that night. People sometimes hang out near the door, so I think someone lodged something in the door before it closed when one of us went in and then took the bike when everyone was upstairs.

I was out for an early morning ride and stopped at the shell gas station to grab a drink. I went inside got my drink and came out to find my bike was gone. I was only inside for 2 minutes. One african american kid was riding his bike away while another was riding my bike. This was at 530 this morning in evanston on Oakton street at the shell gas station right across from the steak and shake. They rode off to the east into Evanston and I believe they are in a neighborhood in Evanston.

I think someone walked up to the bike and cut the cable and took off with the bike.

Our two bikes were parked along side our garage inside of our locked gate. Sometime in the afternoon someone entered our yard, either through the front gate which is sporadically locked but always closed, or jumped the back gate which opens to the alley. They took both bikes and left through the back gate which they left open. The bikes were unlocked but not easily visible from anywhere except a small space from the front of the house. The theft took place during daylight hours on a weekend.

I went to a yoga class, locked up my bike and when i returned it was gone. i think someone came by, cut the lock and took off with the bike. it had to of been quick, because it was on LaSalle in high traffic.

The bike was locked through the front wheel and the frame, to a medium-sized tree. The tree was along the lakepath, and was about 100 yards from where I was playing sand volleyball. After playing for two hours, I walked over to where my bike had been locked up, and it was gone. The lock was also missing.

I believe my bike was stolen. I saw it around 9 am and when i returned home at 9 pm it was gone lock and all.

I locked my bike to a metal railing that was bolted to the ground and had another metal railing welded to the top of the pole so no one could loop the cable off the railing. I had a cable that looped around both of my tires, frame, and metal railing. I used a U-lock to lock the cable to the frame of the bike. The metal railing was too big for the U-lock to be attached. The bike was inside a gated residential area. Everything is missing.

Left home next to the cafe and bike was there behind locked doors. Came home four hours later and bike was gone. Heard that someone had moved out during that time and am guessing they left doors wide open for someone to come in and grab it.

It was locked to a pole in my front yard and the lock was cut and the helmet and bike are gone.

The bike was locked to the fence in front of the address mentioned above. It is a three-story, multi-unit apartment building. Some shady types were sitting in an idle car out front when we discovered the theft. I was away from the bike for two hours, during which it was stolen. Also stolen was a silver Trek 4400 mountain bike, locked with the green one in the same location. The bikes were locked with two cable locks and a U-lock, and a velcro strap belonging to one of the locks was found on the sidewalk leading up to the building at 3138 W. Logan, leading me to think that the bikes were brought inside and someone at this address has them. Many other bikes locked to the fence were noticeably tampered with, and a blue bike even had it's U-lock broken open. There was a street fest going on, and many many people were walking by. Our 2 bike helmets-locked with the bikes-were also stolen. One was silver with many flags and stickers on it, the other was a black Bell helmet with a Jamaican flag on the side with a light fixture on the front.

The garage door was accidents left open for a couple of hours. When we came back out, the bike was gone.

The bike was locked to the fence in front of the address mentioned above. It is a three-story, multi-unit apartment building. I was away from the bike for two hours, during which it was stolen. Also stolen was a green Specialized mountain bike, also locked in the same location. The bikes were locked with three cable locks, and a velcro strap belonging to one of the locks was found on the sidewalk leading up to the building, leading me to think that the bikes were brought inside.

I had it lock with a stupid cable/padlock because my U lock was rusty. The guy saw it, either went home to get cutters or had them already? He took the bike, cable and lock? Locked it on railing under El, across the street from Merchandise Mart. Only $300 bike but it was fairly new.

Came downstairs, bike was missing.
