A pair of bicycles were stolen from a garden in Great Yarmouth - leaving a man without his means of getting to work.
Charlean Stretton, 26, who lives with her husband Kyle and four children in the Barrack Estate, said the bikes were taken from their back yard sometime between 10pm on Monday (April 26) and 8.15am on Tuesday (April 27).
"A lock was wrapped around both bikes," she said.

"It was shocking, really, to find somebody had made a lot of effort to come in and take them, to jump the fence and carry off the two bikes."
The theft has made "quite a big" impact on their lives, she added.
The bike was her husband's "only means of transport to and from work" at Seashore Holiday Park, a 15-minute cycle as opposed to an hour's walk.
"He's had the bike for two years and was building it up. It cost about £400," Ms Stretton said.
