Only way is ask for the frame number and then contact your local police.

I live in the US so I dont know exactly how the Canadian police are but any law enforcement group should be there to help you, not steal from you.

I tried this today. The cop I spoke to stole my bike and told me to grow a pair. The "notary public person" gave the cop a receipt and told me to screw off. What should I do?
