This exact thing happened to me. The thief stole my bicycle out of the front hallway, and an RC helicopter from a kitchen shelf. The bike was recovered when a friend of mine recognized it in town, but enlisting the police to retreive it safely (instead of just stealing it back) resulted in the loss of the bike for several more weeks; had I not made an impassioned plea there's no telling how long they would have held it. The police recovered the RC helicopter in a seperate raid some time later; I was called in to the station to identify it, and then I didn't see the helicopter for another year.
