Good report and an interesting case. There are a lot of thefts from residential property at the moment, largely owing to bad cycle parking arrangements there, as in your case. I hope the CCTV is of some use. It isn't always. A friend of mine had her bike stolen from outside the Brunei Gallery some years ago. She watched the CCTV recording at the police station. The evidently not very competent thief took a long time to steal her bike (I can't remember how long exactly), as people were walking past on a busy day. Then he rode off with it. Of course, his face wasn't discernible on the recording and the police couldn't do a great deal.
Good luck with getting it back--read the Stolen Bikes thread for tips. It's long but has a lot of info in it. (More people would see this if you put it into the Stolen Bikes thread--PM hippy to merge it.)
