Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I had just picked my bike up from the shop having a stolen wheel replaced, so the bike was in the back of my car. I was visiting a friend in Logan square on the 2300 block of N. Kedzie (close to the intersection of Kedzie and Fullerton. I had forgotten my lock, so left the bike in my trunk. When I returned to my car, the window had been smashed and my bike was gone. I have only one picture of me and my bike, but unfortunately it does not provide a great look at the bike itself, so the attached image is the exact bike I had, but not my bike. This is a very rare model bike, so it is easily identifiable.

Bike was stolen from Northwestern's downtown campus, outside of 645 N. Michigan. This is a building that faces Erie, with a doorman. I was in an all day meeting, bike was last seen at 10:45am. Bike was gone by 5pm. I had a Ulock, but out of ignorance I neglected to put the U-lock around the tube of the bike - I only had the cable around the tube. The cable was cut, the bike gone, and the u-lock on the ground. i really can't believe I made such a mistake. I bought this bike from my brother and never registered it so I'm trying to get the serial number from him.

Bike was out on the back porch for a couple of days temporarily. Lock was just cut and left at scene. I checked local pawn shops and used bike stores, but didn't see it. Fairly noticeable with it's faded from pinkish orange coloring. Porch was on the second floor facing the alley.

Rode the bike to the Ray Myer fitness center at 2:00 pm and after my workout an hour later the bike was gone from the rack that it had been locked to.

The bike was left at the side of the house by a 9 year old boy who loved it. The whole family was home, and in the back yard. It was stolen in broad daylight from under our noses.

Was placed in our basement which is accessable from the backyard after returning from vacation. Was unlocked for about 5-6 hours and was stolen. 2 other Bikes remained.

Stopped in to Starbucks around 11am, was not gone more than 5 or 10 minutes with the bike remaining in view most of that time. Went to leave store, bike was gone. The end.

While inside my apartment the thief walked from the alley in between two buildings up the back stairs onto the 2nd floor deck to and took the bike. I do have a video of the thief with a clear picture that could be used to identify the culprit. I really hope I find this bike.. any help would be appreciated!

Think thief used freon to freeze off lock. Got wife's bike too.

Think someone froze locks and stole the bike. Got my husband's too.

The bike was sitting in a friend's back yard as we prepared it for a BBQ. They went inside to shower and get ready, I was setting up the rooftop deck, and came back down to the yard half an hour later to find the gate open and the bike gone.

Recently moved. Two mountain bikes - one blue male, one green female were double cabled through the back porch railing. Bikes stolen, no cut lock found. Green bike has flowery details and a small black under the seat pouch. Blue bike has a bike lock holder under the seat.

Bike was locked to two large cinder-blocks under stairs at front of building behind an unlocked, inner glass door and a locked, outer glass door. I locked it up around 8:00 or 9:00 pm and in the morning discovered it missing. Called cops but no one ever showed.

The bike wasn't locked for long, less than two hours. I believe the thief cut the lock or chain, possibly others chained to the same metal fence, and may have driven away with it. There were many people around that may have witnessed the event- the AMC theater is close by and there's a ton of foot traffic in the area.

LEFT BIKE SOME POS TOOK IT

Bike was stolen sometime between 3pm-6pm at the Taste of Chicago on Friday July 3rd. The bike was locked up with another bike onto the bike rack at the NW corner of Columbus and Monroe. It was right in front of a security camera, so there is footage of the culprit stealing the bike. They cut the cable lock, stole the 7100 and did not take the other bike.

Bike was left hidden in bushes along a wooded ravine path to the shore of Lake Michigan. Several young people, aged ~16 - 25, were seen leaving the Lake front walking up the path, presumably to their parked car at the top of the ravine. Bike was not visible from nearest street. People that park near this path to the lake shore do not have a Lake Bluff village sticker and are trying to avoid paying to get down to the beach and parking illegally. Someone leaving the lake front probably picked the bike out of the bushes on their way up to their car and drove off with it.

I park my bike here often. Someone may have noticed it days earlier. Probably happened during 4th of July fireworks. Bummer :-(

Bike was locked with both a cable lock and U-lock to a bike rack. Locks were probably cut.

After coming home from a ride, I left my bike at the base of our rear apartment stairs. Previously, I had no issues with TEMPORARILY leaving my bike there for under 2-3 hours. The bike was not in street view at all. However, this time the bike was stolen from someone passing through our alleyway.
