I don't have a dog in this fight since I live way across the country, but I'm curious. If someone finally spots this bike and the individual (I won't say "thief" because the bike may have been sold since the theft) who's riding it in an approachable location, exactly what does one do about it? From what I've seen and heard about what the police in the Bay Area are either willing or able to do in cases like this (think the recent decriminalization of shop lifting) how are you going to go about getting the bike back from the current "owner"?? I hate to say it, but these days it seems like the simplest and least confrontative thing to do would be to simply "steal" it back when he or she is not looking.
