ds get caught sometime soon 
Forensics have just left.
1. Intruders came over a 7 foot brick wall and then forced a security light sensor off the wall. Also, they pulled a couple of black pipes from the watering system off the brickwork. Maybe they thought it was some sort of security light cable?
2. They have used gloves to pull back the metal shutter and then opened the door via the control panel on the wall (fingerprint powder confirms).
Will they come back?
Were they looking for the car keys?
So many concerns......................................
I read stories similar to our breakin in our local paper, and think 'what a dreadful thing to experience', and I was right, it makes me feel very sick/violated.
The only security measure missing is security cameras, so that is an easy 'fix' ASAP.
The alarm should have been activated and is it linked to police via "Red Care" with ADT, so that also needs sorting ASAP.
Thank for your comments/support. Much appreciated.
Stay safe.

Wouldn't rule it out. 
Police should have given advice/guidance? No guidance given so far.

Possibly. Don't forget keyless ignition system/OBD port.This 'event' will not deter me from enjoying my garage, just tainted it for a while, and has made me aware of the security shortfalls we have.

You can't comprehend the things that go on in a junkies head, i had my workshop broken into a few months back, they had approx 6 hours to take whatever they wanted but all they took was an empty toolbox (10 Yr old halfords mini top box roller painted NATO green) and a tin of satin black spray paint ??? left the code readers, tools, car keys, even the £14 in loose change on the desk, WTF were they thinking? nothing obv.
