Question: Is the locations the bike is moving a particularly dangerous area? Could he go and just watch? I don’t know what good that would do but maybe get an idea of who actually took it. Cyclist, cat collector, hooligan, etc
Has he called the pawn shops in those areas to be on the look out? Has he checked facebook marketplace? I think you can put an add on there for BOLO, also craigslist.

Just my 2 cents.
He has a job nowhere near Philadelphia and so does not have time to do a stake-out. I think he has just about given up, and will try to get this settled via his homeowners insurance.

That's my best guess. It sucks. regardless.
