I know how heart breaking it to have a quilt stolen. I had a quilt that my grandmother pieced out of silk pieces, my mother brier stitched around each block and embroidered the dates of all of my grandmother's children (12) dates of births and some deaths and their wedding dates. Someone stole it out of my cedar chest in my bedroom. I cried for weeks. That was ten years ago and I still haven't found it. I guess I probably won't but it still hurts. I had it quilted, and it was to handed down as a family heirloom to my oldest son.
