That is just horrible. I was Burglarized about a year and half ago. They went through everything and when i went to go fishing about a week later, I pulled out my fly reel sleeves only to find they took the reels out of them. The whole time I thought they were there. It's a very horrible feeling to get taken like that or like you have been. At least you got out and are now safe with whatever issue forced you to leave the gear.
