My bike was stolen!

Oh can you place an ad out for wanted "a bicycle" and match most of the spec on the bike. Leave enough stuff out that the bad guys don't realize that you are "fishing". The make, and the number of gears... see if you can get the guy to contact you.

Ooh, setting a trap...I LOVE this!

If I was doing that I'd write it so it does not sound like you know too much. The less jargon the better. Heh heh heh. I'll be heading out to run a few errands and may stop at the local hardware store that I suspect used to operate as a "bike chop shop". New owners, I don't think they do that anymore but won't hurt to see if they are reverting to old habits.
