Kieran, thank you so much for your incredibly detailed advice even though it is not your role anymore. I will make sure to take the steps you've mentioned.
As a follow-up, if my bike were to turn up on Gumtree/similar websites, how would you advise I handle it through the police? I ask because I have heard many stories where people said the police did/could not act due to insufficient evidence and I wondered what, in your experience, is needed.
