I do sympathise with you. My car was broken into countless times for stuff as simple as the change in the ashtray. One cold-below 0 degree night, I actually left my doors unlocked so that I would not have to deal with a frozen door. Of course that was the night that some bone head decided to break my window for some change.
There are some kind thieves though. Once my wife left her bookbag full of textbooks in the back seat while we went to lunch in town. Some jerk broke the windows to steal the speakers. He took the book bag but was kind enough to leave the textbooks! They were probably the most expensive thing in the car!
BTW, even if the thieves are caught, there is little chance that your stolen items will be recovered. And there is even a smaller chance that you will be able to recover any money from the thieves.
In any event, you will probably be picking glass pieces off your floorboards for a few months. I hope your insurance covers your losses.

you know the f'n theives left your wife's text books behind, they werent kind, they were just too heavy, and they cant read, maybe if they were picture books, or porn that may have been gone.
25 years ago, my car was broken into, they stole my radar detector, tape deck, and my single sideband cb, what was left behind were, thank god, were my computer cards for my computer progaming course, the old punch cards, long before pc's existed. those old ibm punch cards was my whole semesters work. had that been taken i could never replace or redo by semester's end.
therefore, they could take away your electronics, they will never take away your knowledge. sounds corny. but leave books in your car and they'll be safe.
