"Violate my rights and you give up yours."

Now there's a quote worth remembering.

After reading your description of what happened Tmaxxracer, I would DEFINATELY say that the person that did this was close to you, at least at some point.

This was carefully planned. They knew the approximate time that you were leaving. I would go so far as to say, they even knew where you were going. They knew you wouldn't be back for quite some time.

I would imagine you were being watched as you left.

My best advice would be, to work closely with the Police. Tell them everything you know and everything you suspect.

Your "Evidence" will be to locate the stolen stuff. Figuring out where it went will be the challenge.

I give a VERY good chance that you know this person or it is someone that you're acquanted with.
