Good grief!! Is nothing safe anymore??
Seems like you have alot of things stolen there......between you and your aunt.....maybe it's time for a surveillance camera. Or even just a decoy....they don't have to know it's not functional.
Hope you filed a police report so you can begin a paper trail.
P.S. Maybe set a trap. Nails or thumbtacks on the porch along with some "bait'!!
