Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

My bike was (stupidly!) not locked but was in our building's laundry/bike storage room which is behind two locked doors and where no one seems to lock their bikes. I put it in the storage room after returning home from class and when I went to go get it in the morning it was gone. Apparently it was the only one of the many unlocked bikes stolen. I think somebody in the building or somebody who lives in the building's friend must have liked to looks of it and taken it as no other of the unlocked bikes seemed to be disturbed. I'm really bummed out-- I loved this bike and it was a present from my boyfriend who built it up for me.

Had someone break & enter my house. The burglars ransacked the house. They took the bike.

The bike was stored in a garage that was left open over night or during the day. It was not locked to anything. It does however have its lock connected to it.

Bike frame was secured with U-lock to rack on Loyola Ave side of Loyola Red Line station. Quick-release front wheel was stolen.

Black Male was walking around our secure building trying to get in various rooms. eventually found the bike room and rode out the back door. We have the whole thing on tape

Bike was locked up in Diamond Bank parking lot, next to security cameras close to side walk, left to go to church next door around 9:20, came back at 11:35 and noticed that my bike was gone. My bike was locked with my husband's, we had used a flex cable to loop through both our front tires and frame, and locked the cable with a U-lock. Only my bike was stolen, my husband's was left unattended - the flex cable and u-lock are both missing along with my bike.

Front wheel stolen along Michigan Ave. in front of Symphony Hall during a concert w/ tourists walking by every 30 seconds.

Locked the bike to the rack on Thursday morning around 10AM. Came back around 6:30AM Friday morning to find it gone.

Bike was stolen from my kitchen. Someone broke in through kitchen window while I was gone, and walked my bike out the back door. I

I was roofied and suspect my bike was taken. Getting the run around from police and fire dept, as well as the hospital. Was put in a taxi with my bike and told I was also dropped off with it. Upon waking up in the hospital, I was told "We don't have your bike, and have no idea what you're talking about." Seems overly suspicious.

The bike was in my garage, unlocked. When the person I share the garage with left for work at 9am, the bike was there. When I left for work at 10:30am, the bike was gone and my car doors were open. Whoever took the bike also rifled through my car and took only the tape deck adaptor (no change or anything else) and also did not take anything else in the garage (there was also a lawn mower). They did not take my helmet which was hanging on the bike, but they did take the U-Lock which was also hanging on my bike (ugh). I have never stored my bike in the garage before. I left it there when I came home last night (9:45pm) with the intention of riding it this morning. I feel like someone saw it when my garage-mate left for work this morning. The thief reached through my back gate and unlocked it, entered the garage through the side garage door (which was unlocked, ugh), and then left the side door ajar and my car doors ajar when they left with the bike.

I left my bike at 8:30 pm, got a ride from my brother to my apartment, took the train to get my bike and noticed at 3:00pm today (the 3rd of October) that it is gone. It makes me very upset, this bike meant a lot to me. I trained on it for the Little 500 race when I was in college. It is a very unique looking bike.

Bike was locked through rear-wheel to Jefferson Park Terminal bike rack. Lock was still locked and in place. Must have cut through rear wheel. Or perhaps just cut through some spokes and disassembled the rear portion.

Garage door was either opened electronically by a universal opener or my neighbors left the garage door open when they left for work in the morning. I returned at 5:00pm to find the bike missing. It was stolen with a ulock attached to the frame and wheel.

Left downtown by union station, maybe lock was easily maneuvered

Taken from the rack in front of the whistler

I had locked up my trike to a metal street sign that was implemented into the ground at the corner of Harding Ave. and Schubert Ave. I had went to visit my girlfriend at her residence when i had discovered that the trike had been missing the next morning. Upon further investigation, the pole i had locked my trike to had been pulled out from the ground. The pole was literally 2 feet underneath the surface of the ground. and the trike was gone with the street sign i locked it up to, on the ground. the U-lock must still be attached to the frame of the trike. When posted on social media about the stolen trike, one person mentioned that they had seen a kid riding that bike down Belmont Ave. around 12:30am that same night i had locked it up.

The guy got into my back yard from the alleyway and jimmied the lock on my garage. Then he just rode off. I actually have the whole thing on security camera tape. Here's a link to a humorously edited version of events. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V2VwkVqdAU
