Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I had a medical emergency and left my bike in my driveway in skokie. It was gone the next day. Last seen by neighbor around midnight

Some Pr!ck broke into my basement storage in my apartment complex, took the door off the hinges and stole my bike!

Bike was locked to street sign outside of Logan Bar and Grill on the corner of Milwaukee and California. A friend saw a young black male with a thin mustache wearing my helmet and siting on my bike texting on his cell phone in the center median at Kedzie just north of Milwaukee. He rode south on Kedzie and turned right onto Wrightwood and headed west. My white helmet that says "ALBES" in black on it was also stolen.

It was on my well-gated back yard on our elevated back porch. The next morning it was not.

U lock was through the handlebars only. I had tried to have the gyro replaced and two different bike shops were unable to remove the handlebars, so I thought that was that. Clearly, thieves are much more motivated. A coworker reported seeing some teenagers in our secure parking lot gathered around the bike rack, but didn't say anything until the next day. My employers refused to even look at the surveillance footage (they just kept promising to and stalling, one of the reasons I quit). The police told me it would be a waste of time to file a report (thanks for nothing).

Bike was on a rack back behind my work on private property. Not locked but under a camera. There were 4 teenagers involved. We have them all on the security camera stealing the bike. Three of them were hanging out and checking out the bikes. They called their friend and then left. Shortly after a fourth kid came by and took my bike off the rack and rode away.

Left my mid 90's Cannondale locked to a fence in front of my Condo Building 5800 Block of North Sheridan on the East side of the Street. Left for a few hours and it was gone when I returned.

My bike was locked to a bike rack right in front of my work, on Michigan ave in the loop. Was within eye-shot of the security guard's desk. Cable locked through the front and back wheels AND the frame to the rack. Don't know how they got it off the rack in broad daylight on a crowded street. There is supposedly security footage. I reported it to the guard and filed a police report.

Bike was locked within a gated court yard. Part of the fence was pulled back to gain entry and the bike removed by same access.

We had two very similar bikes next to each other, only the girl bike was taken.

Bike was locked to a pole while I entered Star Lounge for coffee. 15-20 minutes later I emerged to find my bike gone and lock cut.

My son's bike is kept on my balcony/porch which is enclosed and locked as well as within my gated building. Someone came through the locked gate of the building and had to climb up my balcony to take the bike from my semi-enclosed porch.

The bike was locked up for literally 10-15 mins as we took a walk around Oak Street beach looking for a spot to sit down. Came back no longer than 15 mins to grab a hotdog at the stand and it was gone.

I had my bike locked inside a tall iron gate. Thief used garbage can to jump gate and take the bike.

Bike was inside of a locked, alarmed warehouse. Was left behind the afternoon of 7/22 and was not there as of 7am on 7/23. Still figuring out details of how alarm system was defeated.

My bike was sitting on my 3rd-level porch on the rear of a building. There is another building that completely blocks the view of my porch from the street, so the only way anyone could have known there was a bike was if they were on the porches of adjacent buildings.

The bike was kept in the shed of our back yard in Lakeview. The day of the theft was the pride parade and there were several people in the neighborhood. While doing work in the shed, I went inside to take care of my children. I returned outside after approximately 30 minutes and the bike was missing from the shed.

Bike was left from Friday late afternoon through early Sunday morning. I had it locked with an older Kryptonite lock through the frame, back tire and around the pole. It also had a wire chain from the lock through the front tire. They got me with the missing screw at the base trick. I'd been totally unaware. This is a totally unique bike... I do not have the serial number but, to my knowledge, the furniture showroom I work for was the only IL retailer for BioMega. This is a totally unique bike...

Suspect stolen by passerby who came to explore from alleyway.

Bike was left in the common shared bike area in the building basement on the bike rack unlocked at 12:30am on 7/22. Building is secured and locked during the night. Returned to where the bike was left at 10:30am to discover it missing. No history of break-ins or theft in the building whatsoever. Hired contractors have been doing work on the building interior/exterior and have had access to the basement for the past 1-2 weeks, potentially leaving the basement unlocked/prone to theft.
