My son locked his bike in our side gangway, to an iron window security bar, as he always does. He locked the bike at 9pm the night of May 13, 2025, and by 9am the following morning its cable had been cut and the bike stolen. We had registered the bike long ago in the CPD bike registry, ID 44480.

I keep my bike in a locked private basement that only my partner and the maintance man and J have a key to. My partner’s bike was left in the garage but my bike was taken sometime between Sunday night and Wednesday morning.

Man walked into garage through a building losing area found bike and walked out of it after some time. I gave video footage but security didn't react immediately.

I’m really not sure when it was taken, but I noticed it was gone feb 26/27. There was a robbery nearby and so I went to check our garage.

I had just rode my bike home from dinner. I put it on my front porch as I was unlocking my front door. Sometimes my door gets jammed so I left my bike for less than a minute to enter my house through the side door and when I came back out someone had ditched their beat up bike in my lawn and rode off with my bike. Two pedestrians were outside walking their dogs at the time and saw someone ride off with my bike.

Bike was locked to a street sign at the corner of Montrose and Bell beginning at 4:15p. At 7p, bike was gone, but the lock was laying on the ground still locked.
