"With all the stolen bike posts lately (and no one thinking "I wonder if there's something under Useful Links for this."), I think it's well past time to make a sticky about the Stolen Bike Registry"

Well said Ryan.

Done and done.

 

And sticky too.

So sorry to hear about your bike theft.  It's good to post here on The Chainlink, but you'll likely get many more views if you post it on the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry, by filling out this:

http://www.chicago.stolenbike.org/node/add/content-stolen-bike-report

This page on The Chainlink will sink from view in a few days, and isn't as searchable as stolenbike.org.  Good luck, hope you find your bike again.

Make sure you file a report with the UIC Police--they're state troopers and have been responsive to the problem of bike theft in the past.  Otherwise, the Chicago Police.  And add the police report number to your Bike Registry listing, along with serial number of the bike, if you can.

Already done. Awaiting moderator approval. Sadly I've been through this before. The 'funny' thing is this is the only time I've ever locked it up out front. I bring it up every day. Will update the serial number. Police report is 13-35409.

Wish I new where all the bikes were going.  2 stolen from my family in the last year.

The bright side . . . our stolen bikes were not the expensive ones in the family.

We recovered a stolen bike at our shop today due to this registry so it does work. Keep it up :)

nice!

Probably would make sense to file a separate report on http://stolenbike.org for the Ross.

Is there a police report number? Serial numbers?

Tuesday 7/9 - white male took took a bike and a front wheel from the rack outside my building in the south loop. Both were students' bikes, and both guys are super bummed. We have camera footage, witness, and a report with campus security, but I'll also have them post on stolenbike.

The fixie looked like this: it'll be riding around with a black tire on the front, if the thief hasn't switched it yet.

Gee, I thought that pic was familiar- same one?

Well I'll be... I hadn't checked Craigslist myself, but I know the guys did. I'll pass along the info and have them touch base with the seller for a test ride.
