Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

it was locked up at the clybourne metra stop on armitage & ashland. lock & bike were gone a few hours later.

I parked my bike on the rack right in front of Ridgeland green line station doors on Tuesday 2/23 approx 9am. When I returned to Oak Park on greenline on Wednesday evening, the bike was gone. Lock was still on the rack with bumblebee crocheted lock cozy on the U part (think yellow & black stripes). Bike was locked thru frame & rear wheel when I left on Tuesday.

Bike was locked together with my fiances bike in our garage. They were locked on a stand, and everything was stolen, including metal bike stand. Bikes are in great condition and brand new! Please help us locate these bikes! Thank you for all your help! (victim did not provide contact info-- admin)

I left it locked up at the Clybourn Metra Station during the day while I was at work. Bike Rack area is located at a busy intersection.

The bike was on the back deck which is on the 3rd floor and there is a locked door at street level. Perp jumped a rail to get on steps. We had just returned from shopping and came in through the back door. The bike was there and we left wine on the deck, which they also stole. We went in to watch the football game at 4PM and when I came back out to get some wine, noticed the theft.

I had left my bike locked in THE GARAGE OF MY OWN APARTMENT BUILDING, TWELVE TWELVE ON SOUTH MICHIGAN. It was attached to a metal pole in the first floor along with other bikes. I had not used it for about a month before the first time I realized it was missing. The lock was a TREK (by Kryptonite) Street-Wise U lock. I found it locked back in the same position, without signs of being forced. There is no security camera pointing to that spot, but there is a security camera that registers entrance and exit through the front garage door, though there is at least 4 other ways to get out of the garage.

Girlfriend drove home, and opened the garage at 10pm. All 4 bikes were gone, including Takara, Black Mongoose Mountain Bike, Silver Specialized Mountain Bike with Obama/Biden sticker, and SE Lager Chocolate Brown color road bike. The garage was closed, and the garage door was locked. Police believe culprit(s) could've had a remote device to open garage (because there was no damage done to the garage), or someone homeless who roams through the alley might've gotten lucky.

i went to go see a friend who was struck by a car on her bicycle, and is in rehab for it. when i came back, everything was gone. i had smoked a cigarette before going inside, and naturally checked over everything, it was all secure, and there was a bolt with nut through the signpost. when i came back, there was still a bolt with a nut on it at the bottom of the signpost. i can only assume that someone came along, decided they wanted it, and had a wrench, and lifted up the signpost.

According to a neighbor who saw the man stealing my bike. He was a Latino man with longer hair and a black jacket. He used an industrial strength saw. The neighbor yelled at him, but the man played it off as if it was his bike.

I went down to the parking garage to get my bike and it was gone, nothing was left, no lock or anything. I have had it two weeks. Im not sure how they took it unless they cut the lock and for some reason took it with them. it is very strange.

My bike was locked up with 3 other bikes, and mine was the only one stolen. There were some footprints in the snow around my bike that looked like women's prints, but were indistinguishable. I ride my bike all the time, and would really like it back, if you have any information at all I'd appreciate it immensely.

Again, I am near certain I know which garage it went into because I simply looked for tracks in the snow. It is one of two garages right near my back side alley entrance. I called 911, they said they would come, and 30-35 minutes later, I was freezing and had to get to dinner with my family so I left. A Neighbor let me look in garage. It was not there but one car of a trucker was also not there? It was not visible from the sidewalk, I heard a garage or gate door opening when i got there to rush to get my bike lock, at most 3 minutes gone. thanks

4 bicycles were stolen from our basement. The lock on the door to the alley was picked, deadbolt was not fully engaged.

Bike was taken while I was in the office working. Security cameras of the building where not pointing at the location of my bike.

Left the bike outside my building for three days while I was out of town. Someone took a hacksaw to the fence and bent the iron bar in two places to get the bike.

I locked my bike up in front of a bar and the lock froze and I left it there. I was unable to get by to get the bike for about 1 week and in that time frame the bike disappeared; it is possible it was removed by the city but that usually takes longer then a week to happen AFAIK.

My bike was stolen from the bike racks behind University Hall on UIC's campus this afternoon. Friday afternoons are pretty dead at UIC, and the coffee shop and building was very sparsely populated by 5 pm, when I left to retrieve my bike. I don't know if I left the lock insecure (unlikely but possible) or if the thief was able to manipulate the bike rack or the lock itself; I can only speculate. Please contact me if you see this bike parked or advertised anywhere. Thanks.

This is a pretty unusual bike. I believe that it is the only one in Chicagoland. Matte orange powder coat finish on step-through Batavus Old Dutch, 2009 model year. Heavy and beautiful. Completely stock as shown in pic.
