Joe,
Had the same thing happen years ago and it stinks. They did like your situation, going through everything and took only the things that they wanted or could sell quickly. Police never caught anyone and I never got anything back.
I have ADT at the house now, with motion detectors everywhere, and alarms on the doors and windows. Motion sensor lights outside, you cannot get within 20 feet of the house at night without someone knowing about it.
One of our neighbours was broken into six months ago. No alarm and no one at home, it happened in the afternoon. Next door neighbour had their van rifled through one weekend, then the next weekend the stereo was stolen from my Honda in the drive. Next weekend up went motion sensor lights in the driveway that go all the way out to the middle of the street. Funny how no one has touched my car since?? 
As well the best protection (aside from a big dog and thats not an option for me now) is a active neighbourhood. When the neighbours keep an eye out thats almost as good as an alarm system but I like having both.
