Ya I’ve heard of the thief trying to sell it back to people too, it reminds me of a Larry David skit or something. I as well have no anecdotal evidence of any misfortune being caused by someone retrieving a stolen bike (other than not getting the bike back). Certainly if you have the legitimacy of a gps tracker or serial number the retrieval rate would seem higher. But literally tracking down or scheming to meet a thief over text via Craigslist conjures bad vibes for me personally.
