Thanks guys- they didn't take that much, but they damaged about as much as they took.
 
good news so far is that the insurance policy we have is full replacement value of items stolen or damaged.
 
still working with them and the police detective.
 
Bit - I've had a totally different experience so far with the police.  they genuinely seem interested in finding and arresting the person who did it.
 
and yeah, I'm already working on getting cameras to install and probably an alarm system too.
 
unfortunately my 22 pound "miniature pinscher" who is a little large for a MIN-PIN, doesn't really attack humans, only birds and squirrels.    and he was locked in his bed anyway watching the perps rifle through our stuff in the bedroom looking for jewelry (I assume).

Those cops aren't dumb like that perp.........they know you've got the lifetime supply of Becan stashed in your house (somewhere).   

Sorry to hear about this, Reece. I'm glad the police are taking your case seriously.
 

Ugh. This sucks and I'm sorry you lost your things. At least here in Texas, if they find your goods, no matter where they are, they'll be returned to you. Stolen gear is stolen gear in Texas no matter how many hands it passes through, and will still belong to you. 
 
The gangs are actually targeting musicians here, so it's best to keep an eye on everything however you can.

Needless to say, I feel your pain, Reece. At least they didn't take your XK-3. The KSM-44, though, that hurts. Thieves got my KSM-44, too. It must look expensive to teenage burglars. 
 
I'm glad the police are apparently being helpful. The cops who initially came to my house seemed sympathetic, too, but ultimately did nothing. Even sent me a letter explicitly saying "don't call us anymore". Told me they didn't have any evidence to identify a suspect, which was an outright lie. I'm pretty disgusted with the local PD, as well as Guitar Center.
 
Here's hoping your experience is better.
 

KarynDid you remember to tell the police about that '59 LesPaul I lent to you?  No, I don't have the serial number...  sorry.

 
When I told my friend about my burglary, his first response was "you remembered to include that 1928 Martin on the police report, didn't you?". Head slap. Once again, my kneejerk honesty gets in the way. I did, however, say the vocal mic was an SM-58 rather than an Audix, which costs $20 less, so I guess I did pull a fast one there. But I forgot to include the cable, so it's a wash.
 
Your insurance company should allow you to amend your list, because often things are missing that you don't notice right away. Don't forget cables! I've spent $400 so far just replacing cables, and still don't have a full complement of instrument, MIDI and microphone cables.
 
Also, inspect everything they didn't take for damage. A tear in a speaker driver, for example. They don't have to cart something off to take its value down to zero.

You have a 22 pound MIN-PIN??! 
 
Wow...  My friend has two, the three year old female's probably about six pounds and the male, a six-week old puppy (with some seriously cool attitude) is mere ounces and about the size of a large shoe.  He can, however, jump over twice his height straight up though! 

Thanks dave - yeah, I know they stripped you out pretty good and I am VERY thankful they didn't get the XK-3!  it would have been worth MUCH more than the Casio - I like the Casio for it's piano action, but I didn't use it much any more, so i won't miss it as much as I would have the hammond!
 
yes, I did remember to tell them about the cables and the boom stand they stole with the mic and i told them that the KSM is no longer made and actually the used ones go for more than they did originally - replacement value is not depreciated from original cost on them!
 
yep, I was on the phone with the insurance adjuster until 10pm last night and she specifically said I could amend it if I discovered something was missing later.  
 
and I was sure to list all of the damage as well!  at least what I know about so far!

I hate to mention it, but have you checked your becan stash? I mean, the value of the gear may pale in comparison to the replacement cost of the becan.
 
Does your insurance company recognize the financial impact caused by psychological trauma due to Becan Deprivation? If so, who is your agent? I may have to make a call...

*Pfft...*  Beagle's becan is secured inside a vault that's hidden underground and protected by armed guards and other security measures (don't ask how I know).
 
I bet he still said some was stolen though.
