Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I arrived home at 9:00pm on July 18th. I locked my bike using a Kryptonite U-Lock to a bike rack with two other bicycles attached to it. The bike also has a Pinhead brand locking system that secures the seat and both wheels with a lock only the owner has the key to. I went upstairs to my apartment, ate dinner, and went to bed around 11:30pm. I woke up at 7:45am on July 19th, and at 8:50am attempted to leave for work. I did not hear any commotion during the previous night or the following morning indicating a theft was taking place. However, when I inspected the bike rack, I found a broken piece of what I believe to be my bike lock lying on the ground where my bike was secured. It appears percussive force was used to break the lock at its base.

I work at GT Prime and lock my bike to the bike rack to the side of the building. I arrived and locked my bike around 4:50pm and walked out around 10:30 pm to find my bike gone. There was another bike with a u-lock and a scooter with a cable lock that were both there when I left the bike and when I returned.

Bike is in a locked yard, out of easy view. Special bike frame, step through because I have mobility issues. Was locked with a strong lock, but to a wooden fence. Someone can in the night before 8:30 a.m. and broke the wooden fence, stole bike. There were two other bikes there, but they were not taken. I think it was targeted because it is a special kind of frame.

The bike lock was picked and stolen from our apartment storage room. The bike was secured with a 30lb chain w/unlock, it was chained to another bike. They picked the lock. We have pictures of the theives leaving with the bike.

Cable lock was cut and left at the scene. Happened between 7:45 AM and 8:30 PM.

Bike was locked to bike rack in basement storage building of my multi-unit apartment building Friday night.

During the night someone came up to our porch on the second floor, broke off the wooden railing with a larger piece of wood and stole my bike.

At about 4:50pm, I locked my bicycle to the metal rail under the steps of the exit of the Kedzie/Lake CTA station. This is the exit onto Lake street on the southern side of the road. I locked my bike with a key locked cable that I fed through the main frame of the bike and through the front tire and my helmet. I left to run through Garfield park for about 20 minutes and came back to find the cable had been cut and was left inside my helmet on the ground near where the bike had been. Strangely enough, there was a blue Denali road bike that was unlocked and essentially left in the same place as my bike. This Denali was not there when I had locked my bike.

The bike was locked to the metal gate, inside a locked courtyard.
