Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The bicycle was inside my car, parked on the street. The thieve(s) first broke the rear window of the car, but couldn't take the bicycle out from there, then they broke the side window entered from the side door and took the bicycle from there. Also stolen: bag containing Giro helmet, 2 sets of Pearl Izumi gloves, 1 spare Armadillo Elite 700*23 tire, 1 spare tube (sunscreen lotion ?). Yes if you want to call me stupid, feel free to do it. I have been doing it for the past 2 hours. I have switched off my "don't leave anything valuable in the car", guess I need to go back to Rome for a while....

My bike's lock was installed onto the bike. I've only had it for 3 days, so it didn't occur to me that it might be easy to break off. It was locked with a U lock onto a bike rack. Someone must have cut or ripped the bike and lock apart. The lock was still on the rack.

I'm still not sure if it really was stolen, but it is very likely that it was since the bike was inside a fence in front of my apartment building. It was left in the front so someone had to enter the fence and walked out with the bike.

it is a light blue and white bike, NEXT Avalon 26" Women's Cruiser Bike. i recived this bike for $100, for my birthday gift from my parents. i wish to have it back

I left the bike locked at a bike rack at the Montrose brown line stop at 6pm. When I returned at 10pm it was missing along with the lock.

I used to keep the bike locked in the lobby of my apartment. The building I live in is a three flat, along with the landlord and his family in the other units. His daughter saw the bike around 2:00AM on the morning of Saturday 9/25. I was the first to discover it missing around 9:00 AM that same day. The glass on the door had been broken, and the bike was taken, while it was still locked to itself. The bike had heavy duty wheel locks and a heavy duty U-lock connecting the wheel to the frame. Whoever took the bike either knew it was there ahead of time or came into our yard and up to the front door to find it. My landlord also said he heard the gate open around 4:30 in the morning that day.

I honestly have no idea how they stole my bike. It was locked, both wheels, with a u and cable to the metal fence. There appears to be no damage to the fence. In my opinion, it was professionally done

Bike had been locked to a fence outside my apartment. I noticed it missing and the only the cut lock remaining on the morning of Monday 9/27. I suspect it could have been stolen any time over the weekend.

My bike was stolen from outside the DanceSpa at 1890 N. Milwaukee. I was in a 1 hour Zumba class and the bike disappeared some time within that hour. It was locked with a cable combination lock through the front tire and frame to the bike rack just South of the building. The bike has a black basket in the front, a bell on the left handlebar, and a rack on the back. I assume that the lock was cut and the bike was taken, along with the lock.

Left biked locked up to catch the 6:30am train, arrived at 6:30pm and bike was gone.

Someone broke into the private garage in the back of my building with a cro-bar and stole two bikes which were stored, hanging from the sealing

I think someone saw an opportunity to steal this saddle (and the seat-post it was attached to), and used an Allen wrench to unbolt the seat-post and walk off with it and and saddle. This was during daylight, with plenty of street traffic around on the sidewalk around the nearby stores. As I walked toward the bus stop, heading South on Milwaukee to Western, I noticed that the caribbeaner that I had some sunblock and chap-stick on, and which had been attached to my saddle, had been hooked to a chain-link fence across from the Walgreens at Armitage. There was no sign of the saddle toolbag, however. No other bike parts were affected, including a non-quick release (but not cable-locked) front wheel with generator hub, nor rear quick-release wheel, nor beautiful floral-patterned panniers that were hooked to the rack, nor my tail-light, which is attached only by a tied-up old innertube knot.

The unlocked bike was stolen from the back of the garage, no sign of forced entry. Garage was malfunctioning for an unspecified amount of time and was fixed on the 9th of September, landlord did not inform tenet of malfunctions until the bike was missing. Unique bike that was probably stolen by someone passing by when the garage door was not working. Needed air in the tires.

N/A

I leave my bike in the front hall. There are only 4 couples who live in the building one of whom is the landlord. We know all tenants and are all very reputable. I leave my bike there all the time. Someone would have to have already been in the building to see it. The left my lock which was strapped on m handle bars. Had to have had time remove and set lock down.

Garage broken into overnight. Thieves took bike after cutting the braided cable lock, they also took a couple of other items from the garage and cycled off down the alley!
