Sorry to hear that, Sam. As you say, very brazen. Make sure you follow up the police report, e.g. by calling them and telling them about the address again, and making it clear that you think they can expect to find a house full of bikes there. I think there's a very high likelihood that this is the case, as people don't just do thefts like yours ad hoc and as a one-off. It'll obviously be best while you still get the tracker signal from there. It sounds to me like a police success story on a plate if they take it seriously.
Gleefully stating the obvious, the problem with sheds, hangars, and the like is always that they're secure until people work out a method to do them, and then they tend to do lots of them in a short time, like the recent spate of hangars being cut open (many have now been newly reinforced). Static facilities or doing things like locking up your bike at the same stand on the street every day if you don't have workplace parking enable thieves to scope the bike(s) out and prepare what they need to prepare. That doesn't mean that all Asgard sheds in your area are now at risk, but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more of them soon.
Hope you get it back!
