I have heard that very often. I wonder if bikes are harder to track down than other property for some reason.

smaller, therefore easier to hide. Not registered with a central authority like, for example, cars.

There is bike registration. https://bikeindex.org

It’s helped track down bike trafficking gangs sending bikes to Mexico. The police just don’t care at all

Love bikeindex, I actually got my stolen bike back thanks to that site. It was literally two years later but still, the police wouldn't have even made a report probably in the city I was at, with bike theft so ubiquitous.
