Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The bike was in a locked apartment building (6 unit building). It was either stolen by a resident of the building or someone broke into the building. The other bike that was in the same spot in the building was not stolen.

Bike was stored outside on a third floor free standing balcony. Thief climbed fire escape and jumped across 4 other free standing balconies to reach bike (handprints and tire tracks can be seen on top of grills going across balconies).

Bike was hidden behind a stairwell in front if my house. Someone got in through mildly secure gate and took 1 of 2 bikes sitting there unlocked. In south Logan Square neighborhood

My bike was locked up in my gated and locked back yard in a spot that was visible from the street for 24 hours. I noticed my bike was missing and filed a police report right away. My bike has yellow brake cables that were really unique and it probably still has the U-lock locked to the frame (newer U-lock with flat key). Please let me know if you see this bike.

So this is what happen I left my bike outside of a local store and next to carts and it have camera and everything their then I went inside and buy some stuff then 3 min later it got stolen when I came out didn't see who took it people told me it was a male and they didn't know which way so I went to the store and ask for a camera from that time and they show it to me I have proof of that person taking it but noting the police can do about it I file a report and so on.

The fence that the lock was locked to was cut: it looked as if the bar of the fence was cut with bolt cutters or a type of snipping tool. The lock and bike were then lifted up off the pole. The lock was removed with the bike.

Lock was only through the front wheel and front part of the frame. Bike frame and back tire were taken, front tire was left with lock.

This bike was in the gangway to a friend's garden apartment: there are only two units there, and gates at either side of the building are locked 24/7. They did not steal my friend's bike, which he stores there safely every day.

Our son's bike, along with three others, were parked/stored in our building's locked front lobby regularly for the past few months due to drain backup problems in the basement bike room. Sometime between 1:30am and 9:30am on Saturday, thieves somehow got through/around the locked front gate of our building. They proceeded to play the wood frame away from the panes of glass next to the locked front door of our building. This allowed a pane to slip down, and they reached through the open pane to gain access through the front door. One of the four bikes had a U-lock attached just to its back tire; that bike was spared. Our son's bike was his 6th birthday gift and was taken along with 2 adult bikes.

Stupid me. Just bought a new house, and I left my bike unlocked in my backyard while I took my young daughter into the house to get settled. Came back out and the bike was gone (along with my kryptonite mini ulock unlocked in the front wire basket). My fault for not locking it, but bike thieves still suck.

Bike was locked to a pay meter side near the patio seating at Rise sushi restaurant. Checked on my bike at 10 pm after dinner and again at 12:00 am and it was still locked up. Came back at approximately 2:00 am to find that my bike and lock were stolen.

I locked my bike to a bike rack outside the Lincoln Park Zoo along with my wifes bike and our bike trailer. We toured the zoo and when we returned, the cable had been cut and my bike was gone. Everything else was untouched.

Locked the bike through both wheels and frame to a tree. Left the bike for about four hours. When I came back, the bike was gone.

The bike is missing from the storage room inside of our condo building.

It was in the backyard of a friends house where a BBQ was taking place. There were about 15 people and everyone had their bike up against the was inside the fences. It was not locked because i felt safe in an enclosed area, but i was wrong!

I locked up the bike in an alley at the corner of Division and Hoyne. The alley was directly behind Letezia's Natural Cafe when it was taken.

The incident must of occurred sometime between 8am-5pm on September 5th. We have two locked gates on our property and they must have gotten in somehow and stolen it off the back patio area. It has been there safely for 2 years but my luck must have run out. I'm assuming the garbage pickers wandered in looking for anything to steal made of solid metal. This bike was not worth much in money but a lot in sentimental value to me. I loved it!
