Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I left the bike on my front porch as I ran in to grab my bag. The bike was in view of the window so I thought it safe for a few minutes, but I received a phone call and turned my back and when I returned the bike was gone.

Bike stolen from fifth floor stairwell of 9 unit condo building. It was locked to a metal banister.

Our apartment was broken into and the storage area had my bike and my roommate's bike. Both were stolen. We live in Lakeview and there was apparently a chain of breaking and entering bike thefts in Lincoln Park and Lakeview that week and night. http://www.redeyechicago.com/news/local/redeye-police-warn-of-highend-bike-thefts-in-lincoln-park-20140523,0,2401236.story

It was parked in the bike rack at the buffalo grove train station. I was in a hurry to catch the train and I couldn't find my bike lock. I trusted that no one would take it but I was wrong. I really hope someone finds it!

Bike was locked upstairs on second floor porch. Went to work the following day and by the time I got back from work the bike was missing

Bike was locked in front of Barnes and Noble in downtown Evanston - intersection of Church St and Sherman - with a thick cable lock. When I came out of the store about 30min later, bike and lock were gone. Police report has been filed with the City of Evanston Police.

The bike was in the communal basement of my home, which is a two flat graystone. To the best of my knowledge, the back gate and back door of the building were locked. When I went downstairs to let my dog out this morning, both the back door and back gate were left wide open. It is unclear how they gained access to the house, as there were no signs of forced entry. The bike was sitting unlocked in the middle of the basement. Luckily, as far as I can tell, nothing else was taken.

My bike was in the far back part of my yard as I went to take groceries inside. The perpetrator(s) had to go through a chain link fence, across my yard and onto my deck, about 20 yards, in order to remove the bike. A neighbor saw suspicious activity by well dressed Hispanic and African American teenagers.

The bike was kept in the lobby behind a locked door or the apartment building I live in. I left Saturday, May 24 around 3pm and it was still there, when I returned home today (Monday, May 27) it was missing. The first door to the building is unlocked, but the next door which the bike was behind is locked so whoever stole it had to have broken into the building. The picture attached is not one i took, but the exact same model and color as the one stolen.

The bike was locked to a bike lock station (the upside down U's staked into the pavement). Location was on the east side of Ravenswood street, just North of Wilson. About a 30 second walk to the Irish bar on Wilson/Ravenswood. When I went to get my bike at around midnight, the bike was gone and just a little piece (inch long) of the U-lock was left on the sidewalk, which is how I know it was cut. Also, the stakes that held lock station into the pavement were loose, so it is possible they tried to first pull the whole station out of the ground.

Locked my bike last night and this afternoon my Roomate called to say it was gone. The lock looked like it had been worked on for a very long time and was bent and destroyed but left. I only had the bike for a month and never left it outside.

I was in my apt. and someone broke in while I was passed out on Allergy medicine. They also took a laptop computer and a Kindle HD with my cell phone. A Police report has been filled.

Bike was locked outside of the Blue Line Damen stop in an area with lots of foot traffic and visibility.

The bike was taken from a locked garage (access granted with an opener only given to residents) that did have a fence in the back. It was the only bike taken as the rest of the bikes were locked with the U-shaped locks. I suspect that either someone from my building (who has access to the garage) cut the lock and took the bike up to their apartment, or more likely, someone jumped the fence in the bike and cut the lock and took the bike and lock with them.

Mountain Bike was stolen from the Park Millennium locked bike storage area.

I went to ride my bike. Upon entering the storage room with my key (no signs of forced entry), I found my bike missing.

The bike was locked to a bike rack outside of Kent Law School on the sidewalk during a weekday and was missing an hour later.
