Boy, do I know how you feel! When my house was burglarized, I lost my grandmother's wedding ring, a wonderful 35mm camera outfit, and most of my tarot card collection. I didn't think the tarot decks were worth much until I tried to replace them--one deck turned out to be an out-of-print limited edition, and the only copy I've seen since then cost $500!

Try not to feel too discouraged. Do check with the pawn shops. If you know how the burglars broke in, do what you can to secure things better. And if you are acquainted with your neighbors at all, check with them and see whether anybody noticed anything--they'll also most likely want to be aware that someone is breaking into houses in broad daylight!
