Reading all of this about he had the only key to the gate etc. it struck me odd that the gate even had a lock with a key. Around here all outside gates have a latch mechanism, why lock the gate when actually you can just go up and over the fence if you need to get in that urgently.
It's easier to get stolen items out an unlocked gate than over it. At our last house we had a lock on our gate to help against a possible break-in to our shed.
