Given sufficient resolution, software, and access to data they can with some degree of accuracy. >My building had countless footage of people entering the bike room or parking and stealing bicycles With bicycle theft you have an individual with an incentive to recover the bike approximately equal to the retail value of the bike, and few resources at their disposal. Law enforcement is not going to pay much more than lip service to a stolen bike, because they don't have any tangible incentive to recover it, while it's probably a lot of work to even try. Depending on the building, it's possible the landlord is sufficiently incentivized to increase security to mitigate tenant complaints, but that won't extend to the search for a bike that has already been stolen. By contrast, with bank fraud you have, for example, a $300 bn company like JPM with a strong incentive to protect their network's security and consumer trust, cameras everywhere, and good working relationships with law enforcement at many levels of government. It is much more likely to be taken seriously and acted upon, and is therefore riskier than bike theft.
