Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

Bike stolen off gated/locked back porch on third floor stairs. Residents frequently leave gates open/unlocked despite signs stating not to. Only 1 bike stolen despite 2 being on the rack and the other being significantly more expensive and normal sized.

I last saw my bike on the evening of July 24th, 2026. I was away from home later that night and returned home on Sunday, July 26th at roughly 6:30pm. I noticed that my bike was not present at the light post I usually lock it at, and two other bikes that belong to other residents were also gone.

Bike was stolen from under my porch in backyard. We have a fenced in yard, someone came in the back gate / opened the gate lock (simple to do), and found my bike under a tarp under the porch (I usually lock it to the porch, but unfortunately forgot to). It was there around 8pm Saturday 07/25, and noticed it gone around 10am Sunday 07/26.

The bike was locked outside Sulzer Library at 11:30 am. Upon return to bike rack at 6:30 pm, it was gone, along with the lock and my helmet.

Bike was stolen from south side of Leland Ave under metra tracks sometime between 8am and 4pm on Friday, July 17th. Reports have been made to both Metra police and CPD

Went to retrieve my delivery goods after work. Bike was in its usual locked up place in the breezeway of my apartment. When I went out for my delivery my E-bike and its lock were gone and the breezeway was left open.

-So I locked my bike with my cable lock to the Chicago Board of Trade Building’s bike racks at 2 pm, Thursday July 16 on 399 South Financial Place. -I wanted to put it there before I left for a bit on the pink line to go to a shop. -I parked my bike next to more than a dozen other bikes on these racks, there were SO many bikes. -When I came back at around 6:45 pm, my bike and all the other bikes were gone, so I assumed the business may have moved all the bikes somewhere else for some reason. -My friend and I walked inside of the building and told the security guard everything, she told me that there has been one perpetrator who has stolen multiple bikes before and they have caught him and retrieved some bikes in the past. She said this has happened before and took my name and number and told me to call the front desk tomorrow and they may have footage of the thief.

I left the overhead door to my detached garage open for approximately two minutes while letting a night nurse into my home. During that time, two unknown males entered the open garage without permission. They arrived on two bicycles, left those bicycles inside the garage, and rode away on my two bicycles. I encountered the suspects as I was walking back toward the garage and observed them leaving with my bicycles. The incident was captured on my security cameras. The bicycles the suspects left behind are believed to be stolen as well.

Bike was locked overnight to small tree at Montrose Beach. Thief cut the branches off the tree in order to remove bike.

Garage was closed, and video shows the thief entering the garage door, then opening the garage. Seeing the bike and riding out. Shortly after, took my husband's bike as well. Alley door is locked and heavily secured. Assuming they climbed the gate and then came through the garage.

Thief jumped our gate, got into garage, and stole the bike. Hit up most of the gates in our alleyway, may have more thefts along the 606 area

Thief was hitting every gate in the alley, jumped ours as it's padlocked, got into our garage, and stole 2 bikes out of it.

I went into my apartment for 25 Minutes to get something to eat. Bike was not locked because it was infront of my apartment where it was enclosed. Not an open area where public is allowed. Only 7 resident living there are allowed. The place has not lock. It’s the back yard of a 2nd story apartment.

Had left bike in back stairwell of building around 11:30pm. Unfortunately did not lock as I am waiting on a cable to extend. :/ several others leave bikes unlocked in same area.
