MO as follows:

Securely locked rear garage door jemmied open, damaging door and door jamb.

Cables (too thin, obviously) securing bikes to wall brackets cut.

This was one of three similar thefts within a few hundred yards of each other the same night. Only bikes were taken despite other items being "available" once the door was opened.

Local police say that there is an increasing trend to target garages, as these can contain relatively high value items such as bikes and power tools whilst they tend to have lower security than houses. They also speculated that it was likely to be a local theft, with passers by looking for bikes when cruising past and the front garage doors open. They also warned of a likely re-visit in a few weeks, on the basis that I may have replaced the bikes by then. Insurance assessor confirmed all these points. Portable angle grinders are now being used to cut security chains, etc.
