It's terrible when your stuff is stolen.  I know, my son just had his $1000 guitar taken from his truck.  He went in the house to go to the bathroom, comes back out, his guitar was gone.  Always lock up and don't leave anything in site in your car!!!

Anyway, it's kinda sick, but check all the dumpsters near where your stuff was taken - most theiefs will dump whatever can identify the owner (backpacks, etc.) - they only want what they can sell.  My husbands briefcase was stolen once with software he was working on as a contractor - we found his case a block away with only his calculator missing.

My heart goes out to you - and I hope who did this has justice served to them.
