Soldato
Ok. I've been busy 4hr sleep not last night but the night before. So I get my head down last night >4am for an 8hr keep. I was woken 6-7am by my mum, SHED IS BROKEN INTO. This has happened before last time they jacked the bolt off and stole a £700 Race bike - I wont go into detail but I got it back. I've had cars stolen, being mugged - however there is a twist I don't think this thieft is the same person.
Then out in the front two wooden pieces of wood were there on the floor (looked up) and the bay window has had the lead removed, still all new I do what's best GOTO THE INTERNET (some links). So I go in my sisters room and out of the windows, onto the porch roof and look down and see it's stripped bare.
So I look at others and looking close they were mostly covered 2 doors down I knock and talk to the old lady that lives there, she too had it done she went as far as saying half the road have had this done and it appears they are on the next road.
Now, my bikes were stolen? well - after the lead they've seen an entry which was guess? unlocked they have thought "I'll look in there" dispite a better hasp/clasp they smashed through the shed with an axe or probably a hammer as they need a hammer to remove nails from the lead. Inside was a £700 racebike chained to a £100 bike - what probably happened is two people carried them out as a bonus.
Weight?? I would suspect they are using a van or truck and have dumped the bikes in as being chained means nothng.
I did btw contact the police and they're out at 3pm. Now theres what LOOKs like a fingerprint and there are shoe marks on the windowsil.
Now I was gunna mass print some info and post through all the doors about it and prevention or if the police can do it. Ideally I'd like them caught and my bike back my bike IS NOT something you see in this area it stands out.
Here are info links:

Another thing, house insurance would that cover a bike? and the roof/lead?
We have no cctv sadly however I might setup a webcam, computer to record doubt it'd do well at night - ideally I need a cctv/floodlight setup sorted and trackable stuff for my bike and car.
