Veronica-
Let me add my sympathies! You must feel so violated. I do hope that you can regain a sense of peace in your home.
In terms of recovering your stuff, it is probably also a good idea to check local pawn shows and (especially) any flea markets this weekend. The scum that do this kind of thing generally don't hang onto it very long.
Good luck to you (and I'm very glad your bikes weren't stolen and your kitty wasn't hurt).
