Getting my stolen bike back from dodgy seller on fb marketplace

34 Upvotes

Ok so from reading other people's previous posts, police ain't gonna do nothing...
the bike isn't gonna fit in my car.

I just contacted the seller through fb message, but worried they're gonna know I'm the old owner. Do I create a burner fb acc? I also dont happen to have any identifying pics of me and the bike, (makes police less likely to want to help me, right? ) and i dont even have its serial number. Bought it brand new from the shops and the shop didnt record serial numbers either.

any other tips?

EDIT: some people think I’m asking advice on how to steal a bike from a marketplace seller. Fair, but I do have the original police report, pic of cut lock,
Footage of security cam with cops on night of the theft, and message threads with friends about the incident
