Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Left bike at Belmont blue line station with what I thought was securely locked around front tire and frame, returned to just the front tire and my bike lock so it was not around the frame like I thought. I don't want to file a police report or anything I just want my bike back.

I locked my bike to a pole right outside a dentist office when I went in for an appointment around 8:05am. When I left around 9:10am, my bike was gone. I had locked it with a U-Lock & cable, which was also gone. On my way biking over there, while stopped at a red light, a male teenager on a road bike & wearing a hoodie gave me a thumbs up and said "that's a nice bike." No idea if he stole my bike, but I don't normally get compliments on my bike and then have it stolen immediately after.

I left my bike at approximately 5:20 a.m in the bike rack at Life time Gym in the vestibule. I put it right next to another black bike to the farthest left side of the bike rack. When I came down around 8:00 a.m I noticed nothing was there. I went out and asked the concierge at 1 Chicago if I should let them know or the lifetime concierge. She directed me to lifetime so I spoke with the young lady there and filed an incident report. Incident report #307456. They tried looking for it in the other room but no luck.

I just moved to the suburbs to get away from crime and i had a surgery to remove a tumor in my right leg. I was using the bike to get to and from work from the train because it hurts to walk long distances. I parked my bike outside my office at 353 N clark. I came out later and every bike that was locked to the bike locks was gone including my specialized. I found multiple people who are selling 20+ bikes on facebook marketplace all post my bike. I messaged them to buy it but they removed it. One of them is still talking to me. I’m trying to go meet them to get it back. I have receipts for the bike. And every accessory still on the bike. Do not bring your bike downtown. If you do take it indoors. The same person who stole it has electric bikes and scooters i recognize all on his facebook for sale. That’s what i get for working hard and trying to get my family a better life. It took me so long to report it and i cannot get in touch with a officer to help me get it back. Expensive bikes like these are easy to prove it’s mine i have all the paperwork. I was goinf to meet them to get it back and they are not answering now.

Unclear of what day or time this happened since I’ve been working, but noticed my bike was missing today on 9/28. Likely happened sometime earlier this week.
