Sorry to hear about your misfortune Tmaxx. I know exactly how you feel. I had a Halloween party at my house one year and after everyone had gone home I was on the phone chatting with some chick out of state about 0400 in the morning, when I heard a noise. I had forgotten to close the garage door, and two guys were cleaning out all of my tools. They took off in a junk car and we never did find them or the stuff they stole $6K worth. Then to top it off my insurance would not accept the claim because I left the garage door open even though I was in the house, and I had no proof to show that I actually bought all of the stuff. They wanted receipts and photos of the tools to show that I actually had what I listed. I lost it all and never got a thing from the insurance. So for the rest of you, you might want to record what you have somehow. Photos, video, reciepts, inventory with serial numbers.
The other thing is that I agree that this was someone you know, and they know you very well. They were obviously only after what you had in your room, and from the sounds of it they knew exactly what to go after(kids). I was laghing when I read your first post, which say a 50' plasma. That is one huge TV...
Good luck with your recovery. It does sound like you are taking it well. Like was mentioned it is just stuff. No one was hurt or killed over stuff. Stuff can be replaced, life cannot. I would be real leary though, because if these guys get away with this too easy they will do it again. Trust me stupid theives return to the scene of the crime again when they see that nothing was done.
