Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The bike was parked directly in front of Moody Church and could have only been stolen in broad daylight. There were no other bikes locked to this rack as far as I know, and the lock would have needed a cable cutter to be broken.

The bike was locked across the street from the California Blue Line stop in Logan Square. I left it locked up for the day while I took the train. When I returned that night, the lock was cut and the bike was missing. The other bike that I was locked up with on the same lock was still there.

Some asshole cut the cable lock with cable cutters and took off with it.

Bike went missing while a neighbor was moving out. Filed police report

Bike locked up outside of my apartment. Never had any trouble with it there. Very quiet street. Saw it at 1:30 in the morning, gone by 2 in the afternoon. No remnants of the bike to be found. Another bike is locked up within five feet of it, but still there. Photograph included is a stock photo.

Police have man on video camera grabbing my bike at the Jewel! Literally walked pasted this person trying to hide his face as he walks out the in door, however camera shows clear picture of him, looks like Joe Walsh from Eagles, well dressed but is clearly seen riding off on my bike, please call police immediately if you see him on bike as described. Thank You! Al

Bike was stolen off locked back porch on the 3rd floor of my apartment building. Bike itself was not locked. A black rack has been installed on the bike since the photo was taken. The bike is brand new, only a month old. My apartment is in Lakeview, Greenview and Grace.

Bike was stolen from my garage. They kicked open the side door to the garage which was locked with a deadbolt. Bike was stolen with u-lock, cable and helmet (giro, yellow and black, live strong). Bike has a rear hitch for a trailer and an orange crate on the back with two reflectors.

Returned to friend's home last night where we fell asleep. We had placed our bikes in the garage and locked the garage. Unfortunately, I was tired and did not lock my bike inside the garage as I normally would have. When I awoke this morning to ride home, the side entry door to the garage was wide open and my bike was gone.

We were in Peggy Notebeart Museum with our children. We know what happened b/c my husband actually happened to be looking out the upstairs window when he saw two males (his guess was they were Hispanic men, shorter hair cuts between 18-30 years old) running with bikes that looked like ours. He ran out of the building and found that it was our bikes and that they were gone--they cut through the lock, left nothing. The bike next to ours was missing parts as well.

Apparently a regular occurrence at the Metra station. My better lock was lost, and I was using a cheaper cable lock. The South side of the tracks has a commuter bicycle parking area along a throughway with a park and a church where plenty of folks park bicycles using the racks. On any day, there are 8+ bicycles parked there on that side. The ticketing station is on the opposite side of the tracks. No security at the location; the lockers are all leased already. No evidence of the theft was left. However, I parked at 7:30a and did not return until 5:40p so I do not know the exact time of theft nor if the cable was cut and later cleaned up as trash.

Bike was parked arm's length behind a bench that my grandparents were sitting at. Caucasian male, around 5'4" got on the bike and took off.

Bike wast stolen out of an underground condo garage that was contained by both a garage door and external gate. Bike in like-new condition, had minor paint scratches. Also attached red plastic bottle cage and clamp on rear platform.

At Navy Pier with my daughter. Locked our bikes together to a bike rack using a "Word Lock" cable. Came back after an hour and my bike was gone. The thief cut through the cable. I reported it to police on duty at the scene. They said that thieves target bikes locked with cables and is common at Navy Pier.

Bike locked to black metal fence separating Welles Park from Lincoln Ave.

I got home from work early and left my bike U-locked to a sign post across the street from my apartment building since I was planning on leaving again in a couple of hours. When I went back outside less than 2 hours later, it was gone.

I was staying at my girlfriends place, I chained it up to the metal railing on the steps. (I don't usually park it there overnight.) I last saw it at midnight and found the chain lock chopped and bike gone at 7am the next morning. Note: Picture is a stock photo.

Bike sat with another black, trek male's mountain bike [also stolen]. They were underneath a staircase behind a locked gate in a back alley entrance, but faced the parking lot of the adjacent building. Best I can assume is someone saw it from within the adjacent parking lot, hopped the fence, and walked out.

Locked the bike up, got on a train. Came back...bike gone. Lock nowhere to be found.

Bike sat with another white, schwin female's mountain bike [also stolen]. They were underneath a staircase behind a locked gate in a back alley entrance, but faced the parking lot of the adjacent building. Best I can assume is someone saw it from within the adjacent parking lot, hopped the fence, and walked out.
