Another good idea is to check used bike shops. I know when my trumpet was stolen, I called all the music stores in San Diego telling them to be on the lookout for it (gave description and serial number to each) and the ******* who stole it pawned it off in El Cajon the same day for $50 (worth at least $2500 - $3000, dumb ass). If he didn't die of an overdose, I would have killed him.
Maybe you'll actually find the guy who stole your bike and be able to get revenge?
