Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

It was early morning on Sunday and I heard hammering on my back porch while I was in my bathroom. When I came outside to see what was up, my bike was gone.

I'm a courier. I went into one of our clients, Cafecito's 26 E Congress location, to make a pickup. I freelocked my work bike up against the front window of the restaurant. I was in there for about 5 or 6 minutes. When I came out the bike was gone. I spent the next forty-five minutes searching on foot, on the assumption that whoever took it couldn't have gone very since it was freelocked, but didn't turn anything up. I also radioed in to my dispatch, and immediately it up on social media, in case any of my coworkers or other couriers or anyone else in the area spotted anything.

The bike was left in front of a building over night and when I went out to get it the next morning it was gone. Last time I saw it was at around 930 on the 7th.

Between Friday morning, May 6, and Saturday night, May 7, my bike was stolen from a fenced-in property, from a spot not visible from the street or back alley.

Came back from vacation to find that my bike was missing from the rack in front of my apartment. The U lock was left attached to the bike rack. There was another bike next to mine that was also stolen as well. I reported the incident to the apartment building manager and filed a police report.

Bike was found missing on May 8 but may have been stolen earlier.

Bike was in new condition even the price tag was on which might have attract the person to steal it.

Locked bike at 5:00pm in front of my residence. Still there at 7:00pm. Next time I went outside it was 10:00pm and bike was gone along with the cable and padlock. I don't know the make and model of my bike as I'm very new to biking. All I know is that it's an older, silver pacific mountain bike with regular handlebars and bullhorn handlebars that cone out from the sides. It is pretty worn.

Left bikes locked to bike rack between 7 and 9 pm to go to dinner. When returned, the bikes were gone and the cable was cut.

Left biles locked to auto bike rack on Canal Street, directly across the street from the Metra Station between Randolph and Lake. Parked for dinner at 6:57 pm. When returned at 8:55 pm, bikes were gone.

Bike was locked to fence with cable lock. Then U-lock was locking back wheel to frame. Thief would have to have gained access to the gated parking lot, cut the cable lock, and then taken the bike away with the u-lock still on it. Theft probably occurred overnight May 7-May 8, but could have been one of the previous 2 nights as the last time I rode my bike was May 5.

I leave my bike locked to itself in the hallway of my apartment complex. There's 3 other housing units in the complex, most of the residents leave their bikes in the hallway as well. I got back from work today and my bike was missing. It was still there the previous night, don't know about this morning. Someone must have gotten into the building and took my bike.

I parked my bike around 11:30 am on May 5, 2016 outside of Merchandise Mart right off of Wells and W Merchandise Mart Plaza. When I left work for the day around 10 pm, the bike and the lock were both gone.

On March 30th approximately 1 p.m. give or take a half hour In front of the Sears Tower across from the pizzeria located in a bike rack I went up to the on the Sears Tower and when I was done with my visit came down and it was missing/ stolen and my brake cable left on bike rack.. I was with my fiance her bike is bright orange so if you look at the cameras in the area you will see me /we locked our bikes together at the same time.

Not sure exactly when it was stolen. It was last seen 5:30pm 4/28/16 and noticed it was missing 5:30pm 5/2/16.

We live on the third floor, bike was locked to wooden fire escape railing. The wood was knocked out and bike taken. Other bike beside it untouched.

I leave my bike on the back porch of my 2nd floor apartment. When I went to use it to ride to work this morning (5/4/16), I saw it was gone. I asked my neighbor when she last saw it and she said yesterday afternoon (5/3/16). My neighbors occasionally leave our back gate unlocked, so I believe someone spotted my bike from the alley, saw the back gate was open, walked up my porch steps and stole my bike. I believe this happened the night of (5/3/16).

This is the 2nd brand new hybrid bicycle stolen off my locked bike rack in the last year. I live in a 7 unit, 4 story condo building. There was no sign of forced entry. Each time the thief only stole my new bike and left the other alone. This time they also stole my power washer.

The thief broke through the glass pane of the door in my basement to reach in and unlock the door. The thief then entered my apartment and took the bike.

Locked the bike through the front wheel and frame around 1:55-2:00 in front of Harold Washington College. Came out of class at 3:50 to find out it was stolen.
