Incident Description:
We went out of town the morning of Friday 8/8/14. We returned the afternoon of Sunday 8/11. Within a couple hours of returned I noticed that our two bikes in the garage were missing. They were in the garage that was still shut when we pulled up. The garage itself is rarely opened and hadn't been for weeks. We had not ridden the bikes this year due to other circumstances. I am 100% certain the garage was not left open when we left. The only thing missing are the two bikes. I believe this popular youtube video showing how to break into a garage in 6 seconds is how they were stolen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDw8DOblGB8
