Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

[ On 7/28/24, the victim notified us that the bike had been recovered: "I posted today about a stolen 2018 LIV Avail. I just wanted to update you guys and say we recovered the bike in under 24 hours somehow. The person who stole the bike, sold it to someone on the street. That person posted it on Facebook marketplace to find the owner because he knew it was stolen, and we were able to pick it up! Thanks for this resource though. We had a few people reach out who helped us use multiple channels to find the bike!"] At approximately 10:45pm outside of Remedy on Milwaukee Ave, a white male about 50 years old wearing blue shorts, a black backpack, a blue IKEA type bag, and a black hat, used bolt cutters to cut the lock on our bikes. He stole the 2018 Black LIV Avail and then took off northbound on Milwaukee Ave heading towards Western Ave. The bar has video of the entire event and clear still images of the thief. Will provide serial number if found.

We were moving out of the apartment and garage I'm moving out of and into our new one. The garage was unlocked for maybe 15 minutes and was stolen in the meantime. I have an airtag on the bike which we tracked to a specific address in McKinley park.

Unsure of exact time, bike left in garage in usually very safe area. Locked and closed garage.

I locked the bike to a city-provided bike lock stand around 10:30am outside of Century Shopping Centre at 2828 N Clark St. in Chicago, IL. I confirmed the bike lock was locked and scrambled, and then armed an alarm system that would go off if the bike was tampered with. Approximately 1hr30m later, I returned to the location and the lock was sawed (presumably) in half and the bike was gone.

The bike was stored on the first-floor apartment's inside porch, requiring a building key to enter. Two bikes were stolen off the porch between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on 7/25/24. The other bike was a Specialized Sirrus Elite with a dirty white colored frame. There was no sign of forced entry, so it was stolen by someone with a key or a door that was not properly latched. Unknown burglar and no other items were taken beside the bikes. The stolen bikes were last seen at 7 a.m.
