Incident Description:
Bike was locked to the ceiling of my garage by two 3/8" eyebolts that were epoxied to the ceiling joists. A cable lock with padlock was used to lock both the front tire and rear tire to the frame and then the ceiling. In addition to the cable lock, there was a kryponite u-lock locking the front tire to the frame. Thieves broke into the garage and broke the eyebolts from the ceiling joists. Locks were carried off with the bike (there was no way they could ride it from the scene).
