Hope you get them back. My advice fwiw, make sure you are part of every buy n sell group on Facebook, Gumtree etc but don't advertise or post up about your stolen bikes. Even if someone does see them you can't do much to get them back, unless you're prepared to assault some thieving junkie.

I had a bike stolen and it popped up on a buy/sell page, I agree'd to buy it back and to meet in a public place. The local CIB were good enough to meet as well and arrested the seller and returned my bike to me.

Not saying you will have the same luck but that's my experience. Hope they were covered under your insurance.
