A friend of mine had all of his gear stolen this past week, about $30k worth.
Authorities were notified as well as local pawn shops.
Other than keeping an eye on ebay and craigslist, does anyone have any suggestions on how else to try to track this stuff down?
For gearfags, it was a 1Dx with about 5 L lenses.

Does he have it insured?

It was stolen from his car, and it is covered under his car insurance.
Mind you, some of the lenses he has have since gone up in price from when they were purchased.
If it isn't found, he can claim it but will only get a portion of the full amount of what his gear is worth. So physically getting the gear back is optimal for his case.

You're German? I think I saw your or your friend's post on facebook.
I attended an event in Singapore some years back. One of the assigned photographers left his bag to the care of the poo in loo backstage bouncers for a minute and when he got back it was gone, along with his main camera, its lenses, and all the photos he had shot with it so far. Guess he missed the note about sketchy looking banglas roaming around the venue, apparently a lot of people "lost" cellphones and stuff over the days.
