I've had two motorcycles stolen in San Francisco. I found both of them (just found the 2nd!). Caught the guy myself the 1st time (but they didn't arrest him). That's 2 for 2. I should run for mayor or police chief of SF...100% success rate.

What happened when you caught him and how did you do it

I, too, would like to hear this story.

Parked it outside my office in front of houses. Came out at 5 pm. Gone. Knocked on all local doors. Then used SF accessor data to find other owners on twitter. After talking to everyone, many people gave name of man who’d been in trouble for auto theft.

I drove around all night. At 3 am we found him. 8 blocks away. He had the bike in front of a house. Standing next to it. Police came. Questioned him. According to them, he was just standing there. Technically no crime.
