Hey all.

Second time round for stolen bikes for me. Bastards, on their third attempt, finally ripped through the garage roof and went straight in with bolt croppers and took both my MTBs. They left my road bike and my wife's hybrid, so it was clearly a targeted theft.

Thanks all - its Sea Mills they went from - buggers went straight in with bolt croppers through the roof and left the two road bikes (both nice).

Daytime theft too.

M&S once again being amazing, already been given a very good offer (I insured the Zesty declared).

Just not sure if I want to buy another, and if I do, do I buy another nice one?

If you do get some new ones, please take a lot of extra care on security, as it's a well known ploy for bike thieves to return to places they've robbed to look for the replacement bikes.

Is there any place inside the house they could go, for instance?

Really sorry to hear that. I think most of us have experienced that horrible sinking feeling of realising your bike(s) are gone. I know I have.

What amazes me, is that all these quite distinctive, individual bikes keep going missing.... where do they go?

Broken and sold for parts on ebay. Frames scraped. That's what I think with no real evidence.
