Yup same here. The second time they just took cash, including my daughter's piggy bank, and a firesafe that held only my kids baby videos (safe and videos were found 1/4 mile down the road). But the first time they took everything including the phones so I could not even call anyone right away. According to the tire tracks, they had watched our house from a spot in the woods near my property. When we left, they took a big truck and backed it up to our door and just started taking stuff out. Luckily they just let our dog out and didn't hurt her. Obviously she was a big softie!
The best part was that because we kept track of serial numbers on our electronics, the cops found the thief 2 months later. We didn't get our stuff back because most was already sold and some held for evidence, however through a stroke of luck, the person who robbed us (along with a neighbor's house down the street on the same day) was hurt in the altercation with police. They needed an xray, and my neighbor (yes the one who was robbed) was the xray tech. Can you imagine the irony??
