#2I could not even imagine the police getting off their butts to do anything about a stolen bike, much less going along with a regular person's investigation. Great work, I wish more police were willing to actually do things when members of the public take the initiative

Yeah here in Germany you would be laughed out of the police station or the police would get aggressive with you and accuse you of committing a crime

#4I had the same bike stolen twice and was able to find it on Facebook marketplace both times. The key is to file a police report and make sure you have the serial number of the bike. Without these, the police will not help. Once you find your bike, message the person, negotiate, set-up a meet up, and then get the police involved.
Although we caught the guys selling the stolen bikes red-handed, the police couldn’t do anything. The guys just claimed they bought it from someone else and were trying to flip it for higher.

Ummm no? Two weeks ago I saw a guy trying to steal a bike and called the police. Three police cars arrived within 3 minutes and they tried to find him for at least 30 minutes based on my description.

Maybe it's a Hamburg thing then. Everyone I know who has tried to report a crime here in Hamburg has been interrogated and harassed by the police

any idea what the price tag on the bike was?
im in US and we have a threshold of value, beyond which it is a very serious crime.
