Not to be over exuberant or anything, but I'm ecstatic. A guy named Sam called last night, said he was working with the police and he was almost certain this was my bike.

Sam Bike recovered 2015.11.20

My bike was stolen back in September. I registered it on Bike Index. Every few weeks I would get a link sent to me through Bike Index asking if this was my bike. They weren't, and I had pretty much given up hope on finding it. Then someone sent me a link to a bike that looked exactly like mine. I arranged to buy it. I met with police, who instructed me how to go about the purchase. They intercepted the purchase as soon as it started, and I got my bike back. translated from English
