Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

My fenced in, locked parking lot was broken into overnight. My bike alone with at least one other was stolen by prying apart the wooden railing they were locked to. The last I saw it was around 5 pm when I got home from work. Found it was missing the next morning around 6:45 am when I was leaving for work.

I rode my bike to the Diversey Brown line station at 8AM locked my bike and took the train to work. I returned to the train station at 8:30 PM from work and found my bike missing. I think that the bike lock was either picked, or they had a clipper/saw that broke the skinny part of the bike body and then stole my bike. Other bikes were there that morning. The area is blocked so perhaps its an easy place to hide tools while trying to steal a bike.

Bike was locked outside, corner of XSport Fitness. Upon return, another bike was locked where mine used to be. Rider stated he had parked it one hour earlier, and noticed the cut lock, no bike. Based on the timeframe, the bike was stolen shortly after I locked it. Note, image is not of the original bike (handles are different). Bike is flipped to free wheel. Lots of sentimental value. I'm sure this will get sold immediately or fixed up to look different. Please help!

Bike was locked to rack under Metra overpass at Ravenswood station on Lawrence Ave. Bike was locked and last seen at around 8:45 am and discovered missing at 5:45 pm.

Bike was left unlocked in front of window at residence for 30 minutes, upon return bike was missing

Security video shows white male enter parking garage at 12:09 pm and begin to grind U-Lock. Sparks are visible on video footage. Suspect rides of on bicycle at 12:15 pm.

I came home late last night and secured my bike to the pole. I usually bring it indoors or into the basement but I locked it outdoors last night. When I went outside this morning to go to work the bike was gone and the lock was there, cut.

Bike was stolen from our locked indoor garage spot. Garage holds parking spots for a 15-unit condo. Bike was locked to itself with a U-lock. Bike was likely taken because it was brand new. Bike was taken with U-lock, basket, helmet, and bungee cords. Theft happened sometime between 9:15am and 3pm on Wednesday, August 25.

Image is stock, not of my bike. I was in the cafe for approx two hours. At 2:45 PM someone walked in and said they had just seen a bike stolen. He watched someone cut my lock with an angle grinder and take the lock/helmet. The person rode my bike up the street to the BP at California and Fullerton. The passerby followed the person to the BP where he saw him put the bike into the back of a baby blue toyota previa minivan (early 90s?) license plate H82 1472. He got a picture, which he gave to me, but the officer that took my police report wouldn't take the plate number because I didn't take the picture myself.

Left 3 bikes locked together and to bike racks in front of the East side entrance to the Lincoln Park Zoo (bike racks accross the street - along the bike path). Arrived around 3:00PM and got back at 5:30PM. 2 bikes (both in decent shape - working * 1 Specialized mountain bike, female, small size and yellow frame, blue seat * 1 KHS montain bike/ commuter bike, male, white & black frame, brand new rear tire (had it changed on the shop along the Lakefront bike path 15 min before), rusted handle bars were still on the scene, lock cut. The 'nicer' bike which was stolen was 'piled' underneath the 2 other ones. Thanks in advance to anyone who could help me recover my bike!

I returned home at 10pm on August 22nd and by the following afternoon the bike was missing.

The incident was filmed by an adjacent business' security cameras, so I watched the footage and I know the lock was cut and the bike was taken in a matter of seconds. The employees at the business said they thought they recognized the man as a local junkie, so probably it is being traded for heroin or something.

Someone hopped the fence behind my apartment building, cut the cable, and took off with my bike, perhaps as early as the 19th or 20th, but probably on the night of the 22nd/23rd. If you see this bike or have any info, please get in touch with me!

My bike was parked in front of my apartment with two other (nicer) bikes. It was locked securely to the iron fence last night. This morning it was gone, with no sign of it and no lock. The other two bikes were left.

My wife and I locked our bikes to a street sign on Sunday, August 22nd. We used a kryptonite cable lock through our front tires, the frames, and the pole. We came back to the bikes an hour later and the lock was cut straight through the cable, and her bike was still there. Only my bike was stolen. I flagged down a police officer who put a flash out on the radio, and I have heard nothing yet. I am in the process of filing a police report.

bike is gone from a locked back yard. even if someone hops the fence, there is no way to get back out without hopping the fence again. They left my unlocked lock on a table near where the bike usually is.

At some point during the night, the perpetrators cut the lock and absconded with both mine and my wife's bicycles. They were chained to the fence on the parking lot next door to the long room bar.

My house was broken into while I was sleeping. My TV, Xbox and bike were stolen.

My husband and I locked our bikes together around a large tree across the street from Roy's Furniture (facing the store) using an OnGuard braided steel cable and our two U-Locks. However, both U-Locks were only connected to my husband's rear and front tires, not mine (bad mistake). Foot and car traffic is heavy in this area and we only planned to be inside an hour at most. The steel cable was cut through twice. They attempted to remove the front tire of my husband's bike but the locks prevented it. I'll be filing a police report today. Many thanks for offering this service.

Bike was locked with 2 U locks to the front tire, body, and rack, as well as the back tire to the body and rack.
