“The doors had been forced but they hadn’t managed to open it and then I saw the garage door was wide open and I knew immediately what had happened.
“They stole a very distinctive orange diamondback mountain bike as well as golf clubs, a leafblower, tools, some of the children’s things and a few other bits.”
