Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I just came out the house and it was missing

Bicycle was locked to bicycle rack in front of the ramp to the Ravenswood metra station on sidewalk on Leland Avenue. Bike was locked and left at around 8am.

The bike was locked with a heavy duty chain that was bolted into the wall of the garage. The person broke into the garage and undid the bolt into the wall to remove both the bike and the attached chain.

Bike was found to be missing 10/29 in the morning. *Location was tracked to Swap O Rama on 4100 S Ashland Ave via apple air tag. The bike and air tag appears to be insides the warehouse at that location.*

Parked my bike at 9 am Monday outside work at 211 E Chicago Ave, near Michigan Ave, busy area. Went back at 12:45 pm and it was gone. The ABUS segmented lock was cleanly cut. My Knog tracking device (which I cleverly forgot to spring) told me the tracker was in Bridgeport. I went to the location and found the tracker discarded on the ground.

Left locked (I think!) to bike rack in front of McFetridge Sports Center from 12:30-1:30pm. Note on photo-bike stolen is the adult bike behind the child’s bike.

Bike was locked at 16:45, by 08:45 it was missing.

On October 27th, sometime between 3am and 1pm, someone stole my bike. The bike was securely locked to a tall road sign post with a Bontrager U-Lock and cable around both wheels outside of 1110 N California Ave. It appears the perpetrator(s) wheeled a garbage bin over, stood atop it, removed the sign from the post, and lifted the locked bike off of the post. Given the U-Lock and cable wrapped around the wheels, they would've had to have carried the bike away. The bike is unrideable unless the lock is cut. Attached to the bike was my black helmet, my water bottle, my orange cargo net, and various bike accessories such as lights, fenders, etc.

Thieves broke into locked detached garage and took 3 bikes, including this one.

Bike last noticed on October 24th at 7pm. Noticed missing on October 26th at 5pm.

Had went to jewel osco on 55th and Pulaski on my MINIBIKE to come buy a ski mask for the cold days on my bike. Parked MINIBIKE on the right side of the jewel osco building. Went in and about 6 minutes came out very quick because I didnt find what I was looking for and when I checked where I had left it, it was gone

Bike was locked to the racks on the street. Discovered it missing the morning of the 26th. Lock and bike were both missing, helmet was sitting in a planter box just beside location that it was stolen. Helmet was originally locked to the u-lock and did not show any damage, indicating that the lock itself was defeated. No obvious indication of a cut lock in the surrounding area. Checked all planter boxes, street, trash can, and dumpster nearby.

Bike stolen out of garage. Bike was locked to bike rack;entire rack was damaged taking it off. AirTag location last seen in Brighton Park.

The bike was lock at the downtown Loyola university Chicago water tower campus. I was in the class for only 3 hours. I was leaving at 1:30pm. When I was leaving, I realize my bike was stolen.

Someone kicked in my garage door in middle of the night (midnight-5a) and stole the bike from inside my garage.

My bike was locked up outside last night at 7:45pm to a bike rack behind my apartment that is within a locked gate. This afternoon at 2pm when I went to get my bike, it was missing along with the bike lock I had used to lock it.

Bike was stolen out of the backyard of my apartment building. It was locked to a fence and the fence was cut. The incident occurred sometime between 10/19 at 7 PM and 10/22 at 3 PM

Bike locked to cable and lock that was in a secure parking garage to rack to a second bike which was not stolen. Another attempt was made on a second new e-bike that failed. It appears the thieves were looking for a a certain level of bike to steal as other bikes were not stolen.

Forgot to lock the bike up. Left it lying in the front yard. Someone stole it overnight.
