Today my garage was broken into and my adapted bike was stolen. This makes me worry about people getting in or others being stollen. What if they were to get into the house? I am I weird to fear this.
 
It's very natural to feel this, sorry this has happened to you. I expect you reported it to the police?

Garages and sheds are easier to get into than homes normally, plus stealing from them is a lesser offence than breaking into a home that is occupied, which in any case isn't easy hopefully.

If you are worried, think about additional security measures, get advice about this. An automatic garage light that lights up the drive can be a useful deterrent.
 
This is scary. Times are hard. l just moved into a gated area, but l know this can't stop everyone. Relieved you are okay. Please report to the police, so they can be aware if there is a pattern of breakins, they can patrol the area.
 
burglary is scary, you have people intrude into your personal space! They could return for more, so you need to report it and think how to improve security/surveillance.
 
Being afraid is a sign of sanity. Sometimes there are ez things that can help keep you safer. Im sorry you lost your adapted bike, those things are hard to build. It sounds pretty unique, do you have a picture?

I'm permanent panic so I've got to see it happening or hear it to really really panic, I had my rollator(wheeled walker) stolen ,do you have insurance that covers the garage? is the insurance up to date?if you do! start searching for the price it would be to buy it now!!!!! ,have you touched the garage at all?the insurance companies are not honourable.

Thanks for everyone comments and support. The bike actually got returned this morning. Someone had brought her from a person on the estate (that’s what they say I don’t know if it’s true”. I’ve put it in the house for now til security on the garage is sorted

We do have house insurance which covers the garage. Can’t get over people who steal disability aid. Their was both my sisters and my old wheelchairs in the garage but they were both left at least.

After people getting wheelchairs stolen no not shocked ,an old lady in South London got her government food parcel stolen the first week they were delivered, she had to eat what was in the rubbish bin for a week,she'd locked herself in,I was speechless.
 
That rarely happens. So happy to hear this. It does look cool. Maybe it's a hassle to bring in but at least you know it's there. My car has been vandalized and l have been upset but not much l can do about it.

I’m sorry to hear. Their is some really sucky people out their. My sisters car got it’s back window smashed. She’s a Paediatric OT and has a tool box in her car. They had opened the first layer but not took anything presumably since that layer was play dough and stickers. Her Dobble game and zones of regulation book was gone so maybe theirs some emotionally regulated thieves somewhere.

It is my favourite thing and one of my most used possessions. At one point it was main Mobility aid but now I need to use my wheelchair and power attachment more.

Sadly I completely believe that. One of the food banks in the network I use to volunteer at got a load of food parcels robbed.

We are getting some extra security. The garage is being rebuilt soon anyway.
 
Way to keep it positive, emotionally regulated thieves, thats fantastic. I hope this doesnt sound selfish but i want t learn about the bike, machines fascinate me
