Should I report to the police?

I woke up last night to some banging noises. I recognised them as metal banging noises matching my garage door. I looked out the window and saw the garage door was partly open (my car stopped it opening all the way). I went outside to check and my bike was jammed under the garage door. I went in to the garage and someone had removed the two wheels off my bike and was trying to get it out under the door (which is the noise I heard). I couldn’t see anyone around but I found a hat with a local company name and logo on it (so not a generic hat you buy in a shop). Would you report this to the police? My gut instinct says no as they didn’t actually get to take anything but because of the hat I feel it may be worthwhile.
