Sorry to hear this - were the bikes stolen from home or elsewhere? Are you able to claim on insurance?

Having had a couple of bikes stolen too, I really feel your pain

From my shed. Im contained on either side by loads of gardens and behind I have a 4 flat complex but all doors to outside have bolted locks. I'm wondering if someone overlooked me and saw the m/bike then opportunity with the tt once over. Its a bit of a 2 man job and we have apparently had loads lately in this area.
The Police have been good. Visited and tried to take prints (no avail0 and have got pics too so been communicating well. I've never looked at so many bikes on my travels the last few days....I have a motion sensor in now (they left a few bikes so may come back) and poss will look into some kind of motion triggered wireless CCTV at the rear. Bit late but worth it for the future.

Sorry to read about your bikes - hopefully you'll hear something soon.

There was a thread on here a while back about a device that fired blank bullets when a trip wire was broken. The main point was that the noise made your ears ring for 2 days and would almost certainly send the ba$tards running off into the night!

one downside to that, your bikes get a new lick of paint every time someone tries to steal it.
