Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

This bike was U-locked to itself in the lobby area of hi-fi fitness center on Chicago and Orleans.

We forgot to bring the bike up to our apartment and left it out late on Tuesday night... there was no sign of it the next morning. It had been lock with a heavy duty chain to a thick street light and both the bike and lock were gone early the morning of October 3rd. Thanks for reading!

My bike was stolen from in front of the Journalism Department building in the South Loop (33 e Congress). There was a security guard in the building.

My bike was on a rack in a closed garage. There are many other bikes and other people's things in the garage but to the best of our knowledge only my bike was stolen. Nobody is fessing up to leaving the garage unlocked either but at some point between 8pm on sep 25th and 7:30pm on sep 26th 2012 the bike was taken.

I think the bike was locked, but improperly. It was dark and raining and the bike may have been locked around the seat post rather than the frame. Again, it was dark and the street light was a good 100 feet away from the bike rack. That said, with so little foot traffic in front of this gym I believe someone is targeting the bikes in this area knowing that the classes are for an hour—meaning that very few people will be outside for stretches of time. The is the second bike I have had stolen in Chicago. Oddly enough, they both happened while at the gym.

I always locked my bike with both a cable lock and a U-lock, but tonight one of my friends forgot his lock. So we locked 3 bikes together to a bike rack with 2 cable locks and 2 U-locks. I was at Benchmark just south of North Ave/ Wells St, and in the duration I was at Benchmark, which was approximately 2 hours, the 2 cable locks were cut, and 2 of the 3 bikes that were "locked up" were stolen.

I was waiting for a package at FedEx thinking it was going to be a quick transaction. Had it outside of the store, my back was turned when someone decided to steal my bike.

The bike was stolen as it was tied to a tree in front of an apartment building on 55th and Kimbark.

Bike was locked to fence in parking lot at Jenner School at Cleveland and Elm. I was in the school for a basketball league for 2 hours from 6:30-8:30pm. Bike missing when I came out. No sign of lock or bike. There was a softball game going on at the park nearby.

I first realized the bike was missing at 7am 9/20. I had last seen it locked up at about 11pm the night before.

Bike was in a locked garage. Garage service door was "jimmied" and bike was taken.

The bike was parked at the Metra Clyborn station on 2001 Ashland. It was locked through the front wheel as well as the frame of the bike. When I got off the train the bike, helmet, chains were missing.

I locked my bike outside my apartment. I couldn't take it to the second floor because I have a back injury. I locked it Sept. 28 around 3 p.m. the last time I saw it was that night around 10 p.m. by Sept. 27 around 8:30 a.m. the bike was gone. The lock was gone,too.

My wife had been out running errands on the bike and locked in front of 534 N Clark (Blue Chicago Bar) near where we live. 2 hours later she returned to ride it again and found the lock had been cut and the bike was gone.

I locked my bike to the fence outside my apartment and left it there overnight. In the morning it was gone as well as the lock.
