This is exactly the attitude you have to have. I remember how violated I felt when my precious custom bike with custom orthopoedic crank set was stolen. All I could think of it was gonna give someone hip pain to ride the bike with the dropped pedal, but they probably just pulled off my $1700 custom crank set and threw it in a trash dumpster. But, as you said life goes on. Be glad no one was physically hurt, and they didn't take (or damage) the bikes. As for computer stuff, you can't go back but when you get a new computer, buy two external hard drives, one that you keep at work and one at home, and a neat little program called InSync that lets you keep them all synced together. That way you have backups in two locations, since other **** can happen too like fires, or even just bad unrecoverable disk crashes. I lock my bikes inside my house to a weight bench just in case. A LBS here was broken into last weekend, and they took off with the owners custom $15,000bike! When I first saw your message all I could think about was Legolos, but I am glad to hear that she is safe. But I do agree with the poster that with the nature of what they took my biggest concern would be identity theft, so I would consult with someone that knows a lot about that. Again, so sooory that this happened to you.
