Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

At some time between 10pm on 9/16/18 and 8:25am on 9/17, my bike was stolen from being locked up on the sidewalk outside 561 W Briar (corner of Briar and Broadway). If you're facing the street from that apartment, it was locked to the middle street pole (the order is street pole, street pole, orange metal bike stand). I had it locked with a U-Lock through both the front tire and the frame, so they didn't cut it, but what they did do is loosened the bolt that keeps the street pole upright and connected to the base of the street pole. After that, I'm assuming they slipped the pole up and either walked the bike away (would have been hard because there was a black u lock on the front tire to the frame, and a smaller silver u-lock on the back tire to the frame), or threw it in a car and continued down the one way street. I've parked my bike in this spot overnight for 8 months, so someone could have noticed that its usually there overnight. I have pictures of both the bike, and the street pole bolt that they took off. The bike itself is a road bike with black wrapped drop style handlebars, a dark gray frame with light gray on the top, slim black tires, gray rims, a black crankshaft, had a white silicone light on the handlebars, and a red coil lock locking the black seat to the frame.

Bike was stolen between September 2nd and September 15th when I was out of town. It was stolen out of a residential garage and was not locked inside the garage.

I left my bike unlocked overnight because the lock was broken. I was planning to receive a new lock the following day. When I woke up I found that the bike was stolen. I texted the city of Evasnton to report the case but I did not receive an answer

Stolen from the bike racks in front of the Evanston Main St. Metra station

Not really sure how it was stolen. I rode it on Thursday evening and I didn't check on it until today (Saturday) morning and it was gone.

Bike was parked on the side of Ogilvie Transportation Center (on Clinton Street just north of Madison), on a rack next to the Divvy bikes, and was taken within a ten minute period around 7pm. This bike means a lot to me. Please return or contact if you know anything about its whereabouts.

Someone entered through our apartment window and stole 2 bikes among a few other things.

I have a small closed garage in a mid rise for only a few tenants and the garbage men left the garage door open and someone stole it between 930am-11am. The odd thing is that my parking spot is located at the top of the garage and around the corner. There were other bikes and expensive belongings down below that could have been taken much easier. Two of my bikes were stolen and there are no cameras

I parked my bike at Wellington Station around 8:45 a.m. It was missing when I returned at 6 p.m.

We have video footage from security cameras in our condo building. Bike was not locked as it was stored in the locked, attached garage that can only be accessed with a key or garage door opener. An individual in long sleeve white shirt, white hat and black pants approaches the residential entrance to the condo building at approximately 6AM at all times looking down and away from camera positions and covering their face buy pulling up the front of their shirt. The indiviual accesses the building via unknown means, but the door was not broken or damaged in any way so assuming they used a key they previously had or gained access via the lock box used for real estate agents. Once in the lobby again they continue looking down and away from cameras and proceed directly to the attached residential garage. Unfortunately there are no cameras in the garage, but they can be seen exiting from the rear of the garage on foot running (perhaps they set off a car alarm or were spooked by something else and ran off). Then approximately 5 minutes later they return and re-enter through the garage door that they exited, again based on video footage they appear to be using a key but can't say for certain. They're in the garage for about 1 minute and then leave the garage with the bike.

At 3:19 PM I was coming down the escalator in the Whole Foods at Belmont and Ashland, and through the windows I saw a man lifting my bike in to the back of his white pickup truck. The truck drove north up Ashland, and I chased him on foot. I was wearing clip-in bike shoes and had a heavy backpack, which slowed me down, but I probably couldn't have caught him anyway. The white pickup truck seemed slightly older, I didn't get a good look, maybe 10 years old. The man had dark hair, dark facial hair, he was racial ambiguous, with light brown skin. The bike was locked to a large light pole. A cable lock went around the light pole and front wheel, and a u lock through the frame and rear wheel. It was only locked up for 30 mins. I called 911 to see if a patrol car in the area would keep a look out, but dispatch put me right through to non-emergency.
