Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The strangest thing was that my boyfriend's bike was locked with my bike, and when we got off the train we found his bike only, and my bike and the bike lock were gone.

normally do not leave my bike out that long, but forgot i left it outside of my apartment. coming home from a friends and rounded the corner of division and leavitt and saw the man lifting my bike and putting in the back of his dark green american model full size truck with a large stainless steel toolbox in the back of the bed as well. i yelled something and started running to catch up with him. he got in and sped away. i could not get close enough to see the license plate. he headed east on division through damen. i lost him and lost my bike. the man was not too stocky and latino looking. black pants and white t-shirt.

Bike was locked to bike rack in front of Chicago History Museum and stolen in the middle of the day. Working on a serial number from the bike shop it was purchased at, but won't have it until tomorrow. Thanks for any help!

The thief was a white male, white hair, white shirt, blue jeans or blue colored pants, about 50-55 years old, 5'7" -5'9". This bike was locked to a tree directly in front of my hotel while I gathered my suit cases in my room on the 5th floor and the valet went to get my truck. Less than 15 minutes! When I returned, the lock was cut. My sons bike was left there untouched. Several witness NOBODY DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT! They just let it happen.

Stolen by black guy. There is video record

I loked my bike by U metal lock on the frot of my house, checked from my window at 8 pm, he was here, didn't hear any sound, my windows were open, looked at 11.20 pm -and he was gone!!!

I locked bike to pole with new Kryptonite U-lock on Monday 5/17 at 8:45am. Due to back injury, I couldn't ride for the next 2 days. On Wednesday, mid-day, I realized bike was missing. If you have any information, please reach out.

I locked my bike up at night as I always do on the bottom of my stairwell. When I woke up to ride it to work this morning, it was gone. It's unusual because the bike wasn't in a place where no one can see it. It was surrounded by apartment buildings. I assume someone must have cut the lock and took off with it late in the night.

I locked my bike up in front of Borders, got on the redline and went to work. When I came back my bike was gone. There were two other bikes on the bike rack next to mine. No new bike was locked up on the rack where my bike was locked which I thought was odd.

Bike locked in usual location outside of work. Locked bike at approximately 7: 15 a.m. Came to retrieve bike at 7:15 p.m. Another bike was locked where my bike had been, so I would guess it was stolen in the morning.

When I back to the street bike was stolen.

I was in Bally club. When I left my bike was stolen.

My bike was locked to a street sign with 2 other bikes. The ulock was cut and all 3 bikes were stolen. The theft occurred on a busy street in front of a bar on a Saturday night.

Locked it, went into art center around 5 and worked until 9; when I came out bike was gone.

The bike was locked to a bike rack in front of my gym. The lock was woven in between both tires, the frame and the rack. I found the velcro that ties the bike lock up at the "scene of the crime" - leading me to believe that the lock was cut through with some type of bolt cutter. I was in my gym for approximately one hour and the bike was stolen some time between 9am and 10am.

My bike was locked in front of my gym at 1030 N. Clark, Chicago IL. I locked it a bike rack and when I returned in an hour the bike was gone. The velcro that ties up the lock was located on the ground where I left my bike - leading me to assume that someone cut through the lock with some type of bolt cutters. However, both the bike and lock were gone when I returned.

Bike was locked to an iron fence within our yard. Some sort of bolt cutter was used to cut through the iron fence and remove the bike. Lock would have still been attached to bike.

Locked it to a bike rack next to another locked bike. There is mild traffic in the area with valet parking attendants, smokers, and bar/theater/restaurant goers. I have parked my bike here many times without incident. When I left at 2am both bikes were gone without a trace of ever having been there. I do not know if the other owner's was stolen or just mine.
