Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike was locked to a wall mounted holder in garage using a u-lock. Some got into our garage, used a ski pole then a piece of wood for leverage to pry the entire mount from the wall.

Painting garage floor put bike in fenced in backyard stolen.

Locked my bike to a rack outside of the LVAC on Broadway, went to grab some food at Brazilian Bowl two doors away, came back and it was gone.

Bike was in a storage room that is locked. The room is full of bikes, none are locked to anything but themselves my bike was the only one stolen. If someone left the storage room open somehow its possible for someone off the street to find their way through a back gate, find the room open and take my bike out, but it's unlikely.

Parked bike outside of Chase Tower at approximately 6:30 a.m. Did not leave building to discover it missing until 3:00 p.m. so exact time of theft unknown. Building security currently searching camera footage. Stolen right in front of rack at entrance in daylight with heavy pedestrian and automobile traffic at all times during the week. Electric bike by Prodeco - fairly rare in the Chicago area to owner's knowledge.

I parked my bike as usual on the sidewalk in front of the Old Town School of Folk Music at 7:50PM. I headed to my guitar class then back out to my bike at 9:45PM and found it missing along with the flat key U-lock. The picture depicts exactly location where I parked and exactly how I locked it. I took this photo a week earlier.

Sometime between Monday evening (7/15) and Wednesday lunch-time (7/17) bike was removed from where I've been locking it outside my apartment building; 2 other bikes are locked to the same fence and are still there (others may be missing, there's usually several in the same location, but not sure of how many)

Was at Hollywood beach had bike next to where I was sitting went into water for a couple minutes came back and it was gone

My neighbor left the garage door open and the bike was stolen from my enclosed garage.

My bike was locked out in front of my apartment. It was only the second time I had left it locked to the railing. Someone cut the lock and stole it, leaving the cut lock behind.

Bike was located on the corner of Rush and Huron locked to a bike rack in front of the Omni Hotel. Security cameras indicate that the male rode up on a bike, left his bike and rode off with mine. My lock was still there and unharmed, not sure if the lock was put on properly or else it should not have been so easy to take. Confirmed the bike was there at 3:40pm cameras show the male stealing the bike at 4:10 pm and I left work at 4:30 to find it missing. The bike is an off white K2 mountain bike with a black design with a cloth basket on the front. Am still looking for paperwork to find a serial number, bike was purchased from Sports Authority 2 years ago. Bike is in perfect shape.

I think that someone had been scoping my bike put for a few days because i go to the summer camp and we meet at the Starbucks.

The bike was in a locked entryway and was most likely stolen because workers where going in and out of the apartment.

Bike was stolen from a locked back yard area secure to a metal fence. An African American Male approximate age 40-50 with greying hair, average height(5-7) and build wearing a grey tank top and dark shorts hopped over the locked fence presumable cut the lock and grabbed the bike. The bike was in the yard for 5 min prior to being stolen. We saw him ride down the alley, however because the gate was locked he had enough time to get away while we tried to unlock the gate. We saw him proceed down Wood St. towards Chicago Ave. where we lost sight of him.

Bike was last seen on Friday July 12 at 5:00pm, found missing on Monday July 15

The thief got in to the building, went to the second floor where my office is and took my bike

The garage was left open for 5 minutes and someone walked into the garage and took the bicycle.

Bike was inside of a locked area. Someone opened a side gate, moved a dumpster (or perhaps dumpster was never put back after garbage pick up) and wheeled the bike out the back. Lock was hanging from bike, not attached to it. Helmet attached and stolen as well.

Bike was in the same basement storage area that it had been kept in for three years without incident. Neighbor had a party Saturday night, bike went missing between Saturday night and Monday afternoon.

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.
