Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Was returning from a ride but I didn't have my key. I let my bike outside in the alleyway while I went up and got my key. It was gone a few minutes later.

Came outside in the morning and noticed my bike was missing. I just moved into my apartment and in the bustle of moving in I forgot to lock it. The backyard is secluded and wouldn’t be able to see in. Someone propped a ladder that they must have found in an alley. They climbed over our back gate that is 10 ft high and took the bike out of the backyard.

I had parked my bike around 4pm at the bike rack opposite 200 East Pearson St. I had locked the frame of my bike to the bike rack with my combination lock. When I came back to my bike around 7pm, my bike was missing and the lock had been cut and left on the sidewalk next to the bike rack.

I locked my bike using a U- lock to the metal fence in front of my apartment building. I last saw it around 8:30pm, when I walked outside the next morning around 7:30am, it was gone, along with the lock.

Locked by bike at the Davis street Metra station by Alcove at 8am. I returned after work at 9pm to an empty bike rack. The lock was missing too.

Bike was locked to the bike rack and when I left the gym the bike was not there anymore . I was in LA fitness at 2828 N Clark. Bike was locked to the orange bike racks on the sidewalk .

Bike was parked in a gated back courtyard next to my roommates bike on the wooden porch structure. Often times neighbors will leave the gate doors open to the back and the wear and rust of my lock made it easy to be banged opened apart.

I locked my bike an a bike stand with a lock. An hour later, I returned and the bike was missing and only the top part or the lock, with saw marks, was all that remained.

Bro, I think my neighbor stole it. It was taken from a locked laundry room. He put one of my bikes in his storage area before.

Bike stolen from Lakeview backyard at 8pm on 5/29.

I locked my bike overnight at Robert Crown Center in Evanston to ride back home the next morning after dropping off my kids. When I returned in the morning, it was gone.

Bike was in a shared apartment basement with an outside door that automatically locks. Bike was brought into the basement around 11:30pm on May 28, and I discovered it to be stolen at 1pm on May 29. My bike wasn’t locked. My current theory is that the back door was not shut all the way and someone was able to come in and steal my bike.

My bike was stored in bike storage in the basement of my residential building, I believe the back door of the building which auto locks and closes was left open and the bike was stolen between when I came home last night and 1pm today when I went to take it out. My boyfriends bike was also stolen our bikes were not locked up in the basement

Bike was stolen from the garage overnight. Garage door was opened. Nothing else was removed from the garage. Bike had a helmet, lock, fenders, and lights.

Two individuals -- a male and female -- gained access to my building, picked the lock to the bike storage room, and cut the cable securing my bike to the bike rack inside the storage room. The theft was captured on security footage.

I went to get my bike from the backyard, as I do every morning. I commute to work on my bike. When I got to the spot I put it, it was missing. The bike was nowhere on the premises of my building. In addition to the bike being missing, the back gate of my yard was left wide opened. The residents in my building are meticulous about locking the back gate and this was not their doing. The back gate was left open by an intruder. We have seen intruders passing through our backyard recently that always leave the back gate open.

Bike was stored in personal parking space in private, locked garage of The Regatta Condominiums (420 E. Waterside Drive).
