Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

2010 Specialized Tricross was taken from my back yard at my residence, 1504 West Henderson Apt, 2F on August 21, 2013 between the hours of 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm.

The bike was locked in a fenced off area. The gate was either left open or someone climbed the tall fence surrounding it.

Inside of 1316 maple my giant rock bike (back up after motobecane stolen downtown only 18 hours before) with new lights seat lock was dragged away likely by someone in the building because one cannot see the bike from outside building has 14 foot brick courtyard wall, lights, locked doors. At back of building are countless expensive bikes locked to chicken fence & no one steals those. I & person i know in the building searched the whole building it was no where to be found. tremendous 'twilight zone pain/trauma much expense in losing two bikes ive cycles thousands countries worth of cycling with- they are my cars, i don't drive. love this website very helpful- cathartic.. I dont know why but i feel something will come up..

Stolen from the front of Dominick's surrounded by surveillance on 9/22/2013 - at approximately 6:20 pm- wire lock clipped in broad daylight on busy intersection downtown Chicago. Used two years old, all original parts. Full police report made. Investigation ongoing.

Our four bikes were all locked to the bicycle rack at the Farm entrance of Lincoln Park Zoo. The lock was cut, the Giant bike was stolen, but the other three (two were more valuable) bikes remained. An older royal blue Giant bike was left unlocked laying in the bike race.

Turned my back for 3 min to put a friend in a cab and when I turned around........ gone.

I locked it to a fence in front of a building (426 surf) that said "do not lock bikes" only because there were 7 other bikes currently locked to this fence and the girl who's apartment it was said it was completely fine. None of the other bikes seemed to be stolen. I honestly think the thief might have seen the sign and thought: "this guy had it commin".

Rail from my deck was removed to take bicycle. Inside locked/gated back yard on my deck locked to rail.

The bike was in the backyard while I went to let my dog out to pee. I was inside for about 4 minutes. When I came out, my helmet was on the ground and bike was gone. It looked like someone had tried to open the locked gate, then hopped the fence. They managed to take it in under 4 minutes, while I was near a rear window.

On Addison between Church and Salvation Army Training Facility.

Thieves entered our locked garage through back yard. Took this bike and one other (Jamis Commuter, see separate post), and left through alley.

Bike was in our locked garage (along with several others). Thieves entered garage through our back yard, either by scaling fence, or entering through front gate. They took two bikes (see post: Trek Mountain Bike). Exited through alley.

Stolen sometime between 6:15 pm and 11:30 pm from bike rack located on SW corner of 51st/Lake Park. Lock was probably cut. Helmet and cable connecting front tire to u-lock left at the scene.

Bike was stolen from the lock foyer of my small apartment building.

I locked the bike to the bike rack on the sidewalk on the E side of Clinton where there were several other bikes and went to the gym directly across the street. When I came back an hour and a half later, the bike was gone. No sign of the lock either.

Bike was locked to itself, and in locked enclosed area in back stairwell of apartment building, and a back locked gate. So it was someone who at some point could have gained access into the building.

The person who stole it jumped my neighbors fence on the opposite side of my porch, breaking his fence to get into our otherwise locked up apartment building. Used chain cutters of some sort.

Bike was in the basement of where I live. The basement is locked. It was broken into and the bike were stolen.
