    Sick to my stomach!!!! I've been got!

    I don't know about the the states, but in Ireland you report it to the cops immediately, give a full statement of items missing, pictures, names etc. A lot of the time they find the stuff. If they don't you can claim off your car insurance, you just need the receipts.
