GARDIEN TIP: Clearly an effort had been made to secure the bicycles but it proved to be inadequate against a determined thief. The shed itself was not strong enough and a metal shed should be considered (http://www.garden-security.co.uk/Steel-Storage-Unit.aspx). The chain and locks must have been quite easy to break - the recommended solution is a Shed Shackle package as at http://www.garden-security.co.uk/shed-shackle-pack.aspx
