Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

My roommate saw a shady character roaming around all of our back porches. Went inside, my bike was gone when he came back out 20 minutes later.

Bike left in locked College machine shope. Wheels locked to frame with a U-Lock each. Bike and U-Locks now missing.

Bike was stolen some time on Sept 12th between 12:30 AM - 9:15AM. An attempt to cut the ULock occurred roughly 3 or 4 days prior and rubber around ULock was torn and lock was bent. Bike rack was located right outside apartment.

The bike had been locked to itself in the vestibule of a friends building where I had been house sitting for three days. I last saw it at 8pm, Thursday, Sept. 11th. I went downstairs at 11:30am this morning (Friday, Sept. 12th) to find that the bike, lock & chain had been stolen. Only my helmet was left behind. This leaves me to believe that it was taken by a neighbor or friend of a neighbor as the thief would have had to bypass 2 security doors to get to my bike, but I have no proof of this. There are 2 other bikes locked to themselves in the exact same area.

I locked the bike in a back staircase that is normally locked. It is likely that someone did not fully close the back door, someone came in the area and clipped the lock then stole the bike.

Happened between 5 PM on Tuesday and 6 PM Wednesday. Bike was locked in shared garage (Shared with one other family), door of which faces an alleyway. There were three other very nice bikes and one okay bike in the garage, but mine was the only thing taken. My bike was hidden behind a car, so someone would have had to know the bike was there or come look around before deciding on it.

I rode bike to store and came back and brought groceries in. Went downstairs to check email and I heard a noise and didn't realize what was happening. I went upstairs and saw it was missing.

Bike locked at Clybourn Metra Station on bike rack.

Bike was locked to itself with a U lock and looked to a light pole with a heavy duty security chain. Both parts are missing. The bike was there this morning when i left for work, and was missing when I got back tonight. I assume the locks were cut.

I locked my bike outside my apartment to a fence surrounding a planter around 12am Tuesday night. Other bikes are locked here and the fence itself was not compromised. I did not look for my bike this morning when I woke up but when I returned home around 11am my bike, along with the U-lock and the cable securing the front tire were gone. I live near UIC school of medicine campus and I believe a professional must have done this seeing as my bike was securely locked. There are plenty other bikes locked on my street but there are a few old striped down bikes as well. I had too nice of a bike to leave locked outside but I figured on a Tuesday night it would be ok. I have not seen any questionable people in my neighborhood but I have heard that there are a lot of thefts and muggings since students carry laptops ect.

the bike was locked closed to a train station (Pink Line Western)the theft cut the hard wire. and left in scene

My bike was (mostly) still locked to the bike rack, but many of the components were stolen, including: handlebar, saddle, crank arms, pedals, front derailleur, and chainring.

Bike stolen from in front of Papa John's and 7/11 on Armitage and California.

The bike was locked as usual on the porch and was seen at 7:30pm. At 11:00pm the bike was gone.

The bike was behind a locked gate on the back porch. Someone took it while I was out between the hours of 6:40am to 9pm on September 7.

Last night, around 6pm, I locked my bike to the front of my building, next to a solid fence. When I woke up this morning, I looked out my front window to see if my bike was where I left it, locked and secured. When I saw that it wasn't there, I ran down to the front of the building and I found that only the U-lock was there, still intact. Perhaps the thief used some sort of mechanical tools to break into the lock and leave it unharmed.
