    So was the garage door open then? Is that how they were stolen? I know theft via the open garage is quite common opportunistic theft, but breaking into a garage and stealing a bike with the lock on it? Seems less opportunistic. How do thieves open garage doors? Can you overcome the electric closing thing with a crow bar or something? Can you add extra security to the garage door, sliding locks on the inside, etc?

    I LOVE the colors on that Trek as well. Very nice. Is your homeowners insurance covering the loss I hope??

    Does it really matter how it happened. The bikes were stolen. I miss my Ruby. Don is happier with the new bike. Still, with 2,500 deductible only one bike was covered. We are implementing measures so that it never happens again. I can bring my bike in the house as it is quite light. His weighs quite a bit, but we will figure out something. I just wish I wasn't so depressed. We were burglarized around 17 years ago. We didn't have deadbolts on the doors. It was some kids and they didn't take a whole lot, but for almost a year I couldn't go into the house without an escort and then locked every window and door I could. I still get depressed about that too, sometimes. Now I go into the garage and just get nauseated.

    The police recovered our bicycles. We can't get them for a few days because they using them for evidence. We will be gone anyway. LOL . . . I now have a carbon speed bike and a carbon distance bike. I have to find out what the insurance company will do.
