Can police find your bike?

Excuse me, I'm curious about something related to the safety of personal property. I've heard that some people have had their bikes stolen, and I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done to recover them. Specifically, if someone were to report their stolen bike to the police, would there be any chance of the authorities being able to locate and return it to its rightful owner? It seems like a daunting task given the vast number of bicycles out there, but I'm hoping that modern technology and investigative techniques might have improved the chances of success. Could you please shed some light on this topic?
