It's not just bicycles.

Anyone who thinks cops will help recover stolen items has never had an item stolen.

If you're really lucky you might get a call back someday on a car.

From what I've heard, you usually don't want a stolen car back. The thieves will not be taking good care of it.

Oh, sure, and sometimes you luck out (if you had insurance) where you get the claim payout and get to keep the crap car (because insurance doesn't want to bother with it). But that's rare.
