A similar thing happened to a friend's friend last week.
They lost their bike when the communal bike store in their block of flats in Hackney got cleaned out a couple of weeks ago. Inevitably, one of the bikes ended up on Gumtree, and despite supplying the contact details to the police, it was only after a week of constant badgering that they agreed to go undercover and raid the the ne'er-do-well's place.
Not only did they find the lost bike, but, obviously, a whole load of other hot bikes too, so if anyone's lost anything around Hackney it may be worth give the old bill a ring.
