My friend had her bike stolen from a shared hallway in Hackney last week. We found it being advertised on Gumtree on Monday. She contacted the Police and asked for help recovering it but they weren't available to go with her at the arranged meet up time. Here is a picture of the guy that she bought her bike back from.
Presumably there's no solid proof it was him that stole it. Adding that to not knowing what his reaction might be to being confronted I guess buy it back and give the police the photo, location, phone number etc.

A happy ending in that she got her bike back.
