Is personal confrontation the best place to start? If you're unlucky they'll deny everything then stash the bits before the police get involved and then you've made no progress at all. It might be better to surprise them with a policeman knocking on the door. Also if the person who bought the bits is likely to be friendlier with you than the potential thief you could get them to act as a witness of sorts i.e. you say "this guy stole my parts" and the Instagram person can corroborate by saying "yes officer I bought the bits off the same guy" as hopefully the police will recover the money so he's not out of pocket
