Gentlemen, (or ladies?) you really are getting yourselves worked up into a froth of indignation. And at the same time getting a bit confused.
You are very right that theft is wrong and should be punished.
Unfortunately you have got a little confused about separating the mode of transport of the criminal from the criminal act. This is a confusion as it implies a cause and effect that are not really there.
An example to help you understand your confusion.
What if a fleet of foot criminal stole the bag? Do we now licence legs? "Something should be done about trainers!"
The notion of registration and licences for bikes is not just impractical ... but it would fail to impact such criminal acts. If a thief has decided the bike is the best form of transport, then (being of a criminal mind) he or she will work out a way of using an untraceable bike for the crime. They will use false registrations, or they will steal a bike for the crime then dump it.
So your confusion is the result of an over-agitated mind. That's ok, we all get agitated. But the real concern is that you wish to impose some bizarre and unworkable solution onto every cyclist - from the eager sportsman to the country vicar. This would be the very worst sort of legislation - a mechanisms that negatively impacts many, benefits very few and curtails very little bad behaviour.
Come to think of it - that sounds so much like many recent legislation that it makes me think you must actually be members of the current government...
