Oh that's shit. I'd call the cops and your insurance company in any case.

Cops have been called, hadn't thought of the insurance company.

Whatever you do, DO NOT tell the insurance company what you think might be missing over the phone. Tell them the cops have been called, and you'll send through a list of missing items once you have it itemized.

They might try and trap you into listing things over the phone. Don't say you don't think anything is missing either. Take your time to put a list together, and be generous to yourself.

Rookie mistake. You can still salvage it. The burglars got away with power tools (not top of the line, but mid range), your extensive DVD porn collection (insurance company will give you cash equivalent) and a couple of laptop

Sadly, you can't claim cash.
