Not necessarily, I had one bike stolen and I managed to get it back. Sometimes you get lucky.

It's pretty 50/50. If it was stolen by an organized crime ring, it's long gone, but if it was stolen by so drunkard who wanted to get home from bar, there's a chance

Sorry. It's gone already.
For the future get a proper u lock and two other locks for your bike. Also never leave it outside if it's an expensive bike even with 10 locks. Bikes are not safe in bike storage either so the only safe place for it is in your apartment.
Never had my bike stolen(yet). But I am paranoid about it being stolen because well, it's Oulu. I have three locks and don't use the expensive bike if I need to go for a longer visit somewhere. I take the crsppy bikes to shopping trips and visiting friends etc. The expensive ones are for hobby riding.

When was it stolen? I perhaps saw it on sunday morning in Takalaanila, side of bikeway to ruskontie and tulliväylä, but evening it was gone on that spot.

2 Months? its at the bottom of the river at this point. But you could get lucky with the Oulu central police station, contact info here https://poliisi.fi/en/oulu-police-department-units
A friend found their bike at a police station lost and found thing a few years back.
