Is there any pressure group to prevent this kind of attitude from the police?

I don't know, but if not, I think there is an election coming up, which might make politicians (the Police's ultimate Bosses) amenable to pressure.
Start a group on Facebook. Good Luck.

Same to what happened to me. Police uninterested at all.
Until someone high up decided to crack on bike thieving, nothing will happen.

Gumtree for one have absolutely no interest in policing the ads which people put on their site.  It's a scammers haven

I've no idea.  Maybe this is the reason to have n = n + 1 bikes...
