My front door leads onto a locked car park for 5 of the cars in the building; 6ft metal gates and a code needed to enter. One of my neighbours keeps his mountain bikes chained up a couple of feet from my door. Just been out to let the dogs have a wee, and the bikes are missing - chains cut straight through. They were definitely there at 9.30pm which is when I last went out, so whoever has taken them has done so since then, and very bloody quietly as my older dog normally growls as soon as anyone sets foot in the car park.

Neighbours are several doors up, so I can't go round as ds is asleep. I have his mobile number - do I ring now and wake him up, or wait til morning? There's no CCTV or anything, so probably very little police will be able to do anyway, but feel like I need to do something, however, I feel very uncomfortable ringing at this time of night as I know he won't be up.

WWYD?

How do you think they got into the car park, then got the bikes out? Could it have been a dodgy ex-resident who had the gate code, or was the gate smashed open?

Can only assume they jumped over then passed the bikes over to someone else. The gate makes a horrible squeaky, jangly noise when it opens, so I would've definitely heard it opening, plus big dog always pricks her ears up at the gate in case it's the postie! It must've been done pretty quickly and quietly. Next door neighbours heard nothing and they were in their downstairs bedroom with their window wide open on to the car park.
