From todays Grauniad...

seems that considering the security measures already in place it was
committed out of a personal grudge or envy TBH (rival teammates?), rather
the sort of thing a desperate druggie would do...

Thieves remove wall to steal mountain bikes

Thieves disconnected three street lights and dismantled a garage wall brick
by brick to steal three mountain bikes worth £6,000, police revealed
yesterday. Durham police said it was the third time the garage in Branksome,
Darlington, had been targeted, despite ever-increasing security measures
including a reinforced roof and security doors. Owner David Humphries now
intends to install wire mesh and concrete walls, and has offered a £500
reward to help catch the culprits. "It defies belief," Mr Humphries said.
"It seems like extreme lengths to go to. I hope the reward loosens some
tongues."

Or that the Darlington Pikeys are more hard-core than most...

One hopes he can arrange an "accidental" wiring-up accident so that the
next time they come back they discover the wire mesh has short circuited
to the mains ... (Accidentally connecting it to the supergrid would be
even better, but probably beyond explaining as an accident!)
