I'm thinking along the same lines as Zeke on this, have there been other incidents in the neighborhood? Was there a obit. published for your Dad? Are there video cameras in the area? The loss is more than just the items taken. Was this a crash and dash or a more professional kind of job? Do the items taken give you any clues? For your Mom's sense of security might be worth having someone good look into this theft.

Really sorry to hear this, Glad she was not involved when this happened.

All the best to you both for the new year
