Stolen bike recovery in Sydney
Active marketplace watch for stolen bikes and gear across Sydney and New South Wales — with a path to police and insurers.
In Sydney, stolen bikes rarely leave the metro. They get listed — often within days — on local marketplaces with incomplete titles and cash-only handoff. Theftsight watches those listings against your registered gear so you are not the one refreshing ads at midnight.
What we watch in Sydney
- Gumtree Sydney — titles, photos, price and suburb
- Facebook Marketplace Sydney — titles, photos, price and suburb
- eBay with NSW pickup — titles, photos, price and suburb
Local patterns
- Eastern suburbs and inner west listings move quickly; vague titles and cash-only language are common on hot ads.
- Harbour-city commute fleets (road and hybrid) and weekend MTBs both appear on Marketplace within days of theft.
- Serials in listing text are rare — image and geo signals do more of the work.
What to do in New South Wales
- File a police report in NSW and keep the event number.
- Register make, model, frame serial and photos on Theftsight (or mark stolen).
- Share the record with your insurer; they can work the same candidate queue.
- If a listing matches, export the proof pack — do not confront sellers alone.
