I have a similar story in regards to getting my bikes back after filing a
police report and serial numbers. The crooks were caught with the bikes in
their car trunk, but arrested on other charges.
Unfortunately the bikes were returned in perfect condition.... With the
promise of insurance money, I had already picked out new bikes at the shop.

My son had a bike stolen a few years back. Having a bit of OCD I had the
serial number handy so we made a police report figuring it was a waste of
time. A couple weeks latter the thief is pulled over driving a stolen car
full of bikes, also probably stolen. Sean's bike was the only one with a
serial number on a police report so we got it back pretty quickly.
This of course caused be to become even more compulsive so I stored the
serial numbers of all bikes in the family in multiple locations. In doing
this I found that most track bikes don't have serial numbers.
