To follow them indefinitely, through yards and between lanes of bumper to bumper traffic?

They need to be prosecuted but it's not a question of willpower.

Philly PD has been monitoring them for a few years now. They know generally where they come from. They know where they gather. Only so many gas stations that the bikes use to gas up.

And, yes, the bikes can be followed. And have been followed. From the air. I've watched many a video from drones and news helicopters. You can, too.

Well, sounds like you've got it figured out. Use whatever drone you have with hours-long capacity and go identify the drivers. Or fly your helicopter over the city all day every day for free. And make sure the rider doesn't take off before you get there.
