If ever the police wont help, round up a posse, keep them hidden, buy the thing back, perform a citizen's arrest. This would be for the man selling known stolen goods, and having apprehended a person involved in the theft and sale of the said stolen bike. The reason to have back-up? The theif, or his accomplice wont take being arrested very well. But when the police DO turn up, to help free the thief, as I'm sure they will, you state that you have arrested him, and your posse are witness to the fact that it was done legally. Any bruising suffered by the thief, was caused when you only used the minimum amount of force, to effect the arrest. After that, 25 to 50 in Sing-Sing. Job done.
