Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike stolen from garage with my other bike, a Green Schwinn Varsity (also posted on this page.) Bike looks similar to the picture except no light or reflectors. Is blue, not the color of the photo. Bike also has blue handles.

Garage was left open due to garage door malfunction. Bike stolen out of it.

The bike was stolen from my locked garage between 5:30-6:45pm. I think they were in the process of stealing my brother's bike from the same garage and someone startled them.

I biked home in the rain on Sunday afternoon, May 29, and at 2:30pm locked the bike to itself within vestibule of my apartment building. The bike was taken, without forced entry into the locked front door, at some point before 11pm that night.

The bike was locked to another bike and to a bike rack with 2 locks. I saw that bike at 11am and the next time I looked was about 1:30pm and both bike locks had been cut and the bike in question was gone.

The bike was not locked but stored in a secure (I thought) location in a storage room in a basement of my workplace. Few people have access to the space- employees, repairpersons, etc. I know now I was too trusting, but I believed fellow staff knew the bicycle was mine and if anyone saw someone walking out with it (which would be EXTREMELY hard to do without someone seeing) they would intervene. I went down to get it to ride it home on Wed 1 June and found it was missing. A co-worker said he definitely saw it exactly one week ago, so the incident happened sometime between 25 May and 1 June. It's my fault, I know, but I really want my bike back!

Stolen bike was chained to a two bike stand, along with my wife's 'shopping bike' - an almost new beach cruiser type three speed machine. The two were almost hidden at the rear of our car park space by our car, and an unlocked shopping type bike leant against the same wall a few feet away. Garage is supposedly 'secure' but we suspect tradesmen have more access to keys than they should have. We drove into our parking space at 3PM on the afternoon of the 28th. Our condo building is still under heavy unit construction, so were not surprised to see two tradesmen in the further part of the garage, near a typical white panel van. At 11PM, we had to leave our building, by car. We got in the car, my wife spotted that my bike was missing. The fairly hefty cable lock had been cut through by a bolt or cable cutter - the sort of tool those workers would likely have had in their van. They were outside contractors for the building company who is finishing off units in our building. The rep for that company stated that all workers they hire are well known to them and cannot see them stealing a bike so blatantly. Sure... A police report was filed, awaiting the paper copy being mailed to me as this was entered. The bike had rear panniers on a Performance Bicycle rack, with a U lock in one pannier - no key - and a crash helmet slung over the ends of the bars. It was fitted with white plastic fenders. The handlebars are FSA 'Wing Pro' low drop compact bars, that I had handy and fitted myself - these alone make the bike stand out. My wife's bike and another unlocked bike some few feet away were left untouched, which suggests this street trash is a cyclist, or knows something about bikes.

The bicycle was locked in front of my apartment building overnight. Although I didn't habitually leave it locked outside, I had done so recently. It seems likely that someone had seen it there before, rather than coming upon it by chance.

My new white women's treck WSD 7100 bike was locked to a bike rack with a kryptonite u-lock at 6:45 am on 6-2 right under the stairs of the ashland green line el stop. At 7pm when I returned the bike was missing. The u-lock was cut and the top portion was lying on the floor.

I had biked to work and locked it to the bike rack outside of my office as I have done for the past few weeks. I saw the bike when I went to lunch at around 12:30pm but when I left the office at 4:30 it was gone. There was no sign of it being stolen just no longer on the bike rack. I used a cable with an integrated key lock which I've used for years but clearly that was not enough to keep my bike safe.

Bike was locked with a newer u-lock with flat key to a street sign in front of building @ ~6pm. Went to sleep @ ~12:00 am. Midnight noticed entire sign dug out and missing, along with my bike (described) and girlfriend's bike attached to it.

I locked my bike up at around 7pm when I got home for the night with a newer u-lock with a flat key. When I awoke in the morning the street sign it was locked to was pulled from the ground and the bike was missing. The police wouldn't even come out to fill out an report.

My bike and another bike were locked with newer U-locks with flat keys to a street sign outside of a residential building. At midnight, when we went to bed, the bikes were still there. Although our windows were open all night, we didn't hear any noise from the sign being removed, but in the morning (at the latest 6:45am) there was a huge hole, broken concrete, and no sign of the bikes or the street sign.

BIKE WAS THERE AT LUNCH 12 NOON MISSING WHEN CAME OUT OF WORK AT 4 PM

This bike was taken from our bike storage area in our condo building.

Bike was stolen from a basement unlawfully. Caught the guy on surveillance video. Male mid 20s to mid 30s. 5'7" to 6'. small build wearing a white t-shirt with jeans. Dark hair with a decent sized BALD spot in back.

I left this bike out on our locked, and enclosed back porch. Someone wheeled a garbage can next to the window, climbed in, and walked out the side door with this bike. All of this happened while we were sleeping in our room that faced the back porch area.
