Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I left Friday, August 18th to go out of town straight after work. The last person to be at our apartment was my roommate and girlfriend. She left the apartment between 8-8:30 am on Friday. We came home on Sunday, August 20th around 8:30 pm. I noticed the bike was missing between 9-10 pm that same evening. I'm not sure when the bike was stolen but sometime between leaving for work on Friday morning and getting home on Sunday night. The bike had been locked to the railing of our raised first floor back porch. It was locked with a yellow and black u-lock through the back wheel and frame to a wooden post attached to the railing, with a cable through the front wheel. The thief removed the wooden post, with presumably a crow bar, to lift the u-lock and bike off the porch. They also took a black helmet. The building is located at the corner of Belle Plaine Ave and Ashland Ave. There are two entrances to the backyard. One is through the alley via a tall, locked wooden door. The other is via Ashland Ave through a low, unlocked wrought iron fence.

Bike was located outside the John Hancock buildong around 12pm where the cable lock and bike went missing. When I came back out about 2 hrs later.

After seeing the bike securely in the locked foyer of a friend's apartment (not itself locked to anything), it was gone when I came down to go home an hour later. The door that required a key to get in had been damaged, with part of it pried off in order for the thief to force open the door and enter. Some neighboors said they had entered only about 20 minutes later, and the bike was already gone.

Cable and U-lock combination. Cable around frame, front-wheel and wood supporting deck post. U-lock around back wheel and frame. Cable was found cut at the scene. U-lock and bike missing. Location was in a locked and gated backyard of a 3-flat building.
