The pisser is that the theives most likely do not know the value of the items they stole. Check pawn shops and resale stores in your area and you might be able to buy back some of your items for a fraction of what you paid for them the first time. If you filed a police report you might be able to get them back without paying. When my daughter was little I was hiding the results of my Christmas present shopping for her to that point in the trunk of my car. Theives came in the night and took it all. I have no idea what they were going to do with a Bardie laundromat and kitchen or anything else I had purchased. I was raised that if you had something, you earned it yourself.
