Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Door to locked room was found open with the light on. Entrance towards rear of property.

Biked home from work around 1030 pm on 9/9/15. Put my bike in my garage like I always do and found the next morning my garage was broken into with my bike being the only stolen item.

He walked by, checked it out, then waited for our staff to leave and returned. He took something out of his bag (wrench?), then stole the wheel and walked off West down Homer St.

Bike locked to street sign overnight. Street sign disassembled and bike taken.

put my bike up the night befor and when i left for work the next morning it was gone lock and all

My beloved tiring bike was left in aa large residential garage, and taken sometime between Saturday 9/5 and Sunday 9/6. Several moves were occurring in my building, and I'm guessing a door was propped open that the thief popped into.

The bike was in my condo's shared three car garage on friday when I left for work and then gone when I got home that night. Someone must have either slipped in when the garage door was open or come in through the front and noticed that the other garage entrance door wasn't locked properly.

Locked my bike outside Milwaukee and Paulina to bike rack. It was stolen within a 8 hour time frame. Cable was weaved between both wheels and frame was ulocked.

Locked to parking sign with another bike, through wheel and frame. Returned from week long vacation to find both bikes missing.

I was in the kitchen with my mother and sister preping for dinner when we saw two kids (10-12 yr olds) on shitty mountain bikes in our driveway. Our driveway looks like an alley (the city never completed the alley so now its just a really long driveway). Anyways, so we're used to having people accidentally think its an alley. Plus, our street was having a block party. But then, we see them both bolt out with my bike from my garage! One kid ditched his shitty bike for my brand new road bike, like they've done this before. We all go running out the front door. I chased after them into the near park running barefoot. Obviously I couldn't keep up, but watched them leave the park and go west bound on Foster Ave. I continued to run barefoot asking bystanders if they saw two kids with my bike description. One car shop owner said he sees the two kids messing around all the time in the area, but hadn't seen my bike. Ended up driving around Albany Park for an hour and a half asking adults if they had seen my bike. Of course when I get home to want to post on Reddit, but my Internet was down (fuck Comcast)! Its finally working and now I need as many eyes on the look out as possible. Apparently the kids had been stealing food from the block party and a parent asked what one of their names were. He said, "Caden". They were clearly scoping the block and probably thought we were not inside. The kids were about 11-13 years old. Both pretty skinny/scrawny. Caden, the kid who rode off on my bike is black with short hair. The other is Hispanic with long wavy hair.

I left my keys in a hidden location while I went for a run so I could get myself back into the house. When I came back, my keys and my bike (which had been locked with a U-lock) had been taken.

Stolen due to utterly complete lack of security at Jeff Park CTA station. Saw bike listed on Craig's List shortly thereafter, for sale for $300.

Someone came and used and angle grinder to cut my locks and stole my bike

I had my bike locked to a street sign directly in front of the lululemon at the intersection of Dickens/N Halsted. I believe the theif pulled out the street sign to remove the bike while the lock was still attached. Otherwise the lock was cut through.

Bike was on second floor walk up balcony in enclosed backyard. Locked front gate and locked garage enclose area requiring a thief to hop front gate or break into garage.

I locked my bike up outside the Belmont Red Line Friday morning (9/4) along the alley by Leona's. When I came back, I headed straight to a friends house and went to get my bike a little later. When I can back, the bike and the lock were gone.

Bike was accidentally left unlocked in back of my apartment building overnight - went to check on it this morning when I realized and it was gone.

Bike was stolen from internal garage, was locked to wall mount, and missing when arrived back to spot. Bike was older trek hybrid bike.

The bike was locked up for an hour at Ashland and Diversey. When I came out of the apartment my bike was gone..
