Unfortunately I don't think the culprit understands the fact that some bikes are quite valuable.
The perfectly innocent statement when I texted round to ask if anyone had noticed if was open this morning was "how weird, my bike was closest to the door and it was still there ."
Answer - because it is a 15 year old Appollo MTB that weighs about 400kg.
I am fairly sure that convincing somebody who knows or cares nothing about bikes that you could easily spend £400 and only have accounted for wheels and frame would be nigh on impossible.
Obvious moral of the story - don't live with people who don't understand.
