I deal with stolen bikes at work (bike subscription company) - sadly I think the only way to really get it back is to set up a "buy" and go and get it yourself. The police aren't interested, we've tried a couple of bike recovery services that weren't very effective as well. It's probably not particularly safe to do though so it depends on how willing you are to put yourself in danger for a bike and/or how hard your mates are!
I was in contact with a company called BackPedal who were really communicative and helpful but didn't actually manage to get any of our bikes back. By the time they'd arranged to "buy" the bike, they'd all been sold already. Might be worth a punt if you're in London and don't fancy having a go yourself though!
Hello all! Found my stolen bike on FB Marketplace. Looks like it’s been sold to a fence. Any ideas as to how to get it back?
