Like prosecuting Facebook for colluding in the sale of stolen property?

Facebook has all the information any willing police officer/DA would need to capture the thieves. All they would need to do is go to a judge and ask.

Also the legislature could make laws to make it easier to send bike thieves to jail.

The government != Facebook and it's better that way since we can vote to change things that we find wrong with the government, but lack that ability with FB

I'm genuinely curious. How would you propose Facebook enforce this?

People selling bikes include both first-hand buyers and second-hand buyers (people who bought it from someone else).

Without a central registry like what we have for cars, I don't know what Facebook could do.

Disallow selling bikes. If you can't figure out a way to only allow legal resales, you shouldn't be in the business

States enforce pawn laws through electronic systems like LEADS. FB, offerup, and every other platform out there letting thieves fence things with impunity could implement same.
