Really sorry to hear this. Which Asgard locker was it? I thought the only way you'd be able to get into one of them would be with power tools so you'd think the noise would disturb you.

Thanks, yes I was surprised we weren't disturbed as well. I don't want to say too much about what it looks like they did in a public forum, but I don't think they used power tools.
It was the Asgard 4 bike locker. This one:

It's always worth remembering that any locking mechanism can be overridden, it just takes a bit of research to find out how. People have in the past cloned keys, for example. Look at the whole Kryptonite Biro disaster; it illustrates how easily blatant vulnerability can be missed, and up from that extreme there are many other less obvious weaknesses.
Of course, there are also ways of breaking something quietly. If a thief can come prepared because they've been able to suss something out in advance, and what they've planned works, it can be a very quick in and out.
Also always worth repeating for anyone who might not yet know it is that most bike thefts occur from in and around the home, particularly gardens and sheds.

Had our Yuba Kombi E5 electric cargo bike stolen from our Asgard locker in the front garden last night.
Have reported it to the police, and it was insured so hopefully will get most of the cost back.
Am pissed off for many reasons, but particularly because they were brazen enough to force their way into the asgard shed at about 12.30 at night while we were home. Which means that now I don’t want to get a new bike and store it there.
We had a knog tracker fitted to it that indicated it was at an address not too far away in Lewisham. Went down there and sure enough found the chain and padlock that had been in the pannier bags abandoned in the driveway of the house.
Didn’t really feel like getting stabbed so didn’t go knocking on any doors, but have updated the police report with that address.
Don’t expect to get it back, but if anyone does see a bright orange Yuba Kombi E5 for sale anywhere please let me know. Only had the bike since December, so don’t even have any photos of it.
