Just wait til your stuff shows up at a pawn shop. You have zero recourse. None. They know who sold it to them, but they’ll never give it up.

In Washington state if you have filed a police report the pawn shop is required to relinquish the item. A friends e-bike was stolen from the bike rack on his RV, and he didn’t file a police report. I chanced upon it in a pawn shop a month or so later. Since no police report was filed I couldn’t claim the bike, even though the owner was convinced the bike was stolen, after I pointed out certain identifiers. He did let me buy the bike for a much reduced price, probably about what the thieving POS got for it.
