Thanks all. It's been a crazy couple of days. In talking to my security company, they told me that unless there were problems in my area or I suspected problems, it seemed a bit over the top to install cameras at this point. He told me that only cameras that are date and timestamped can be used in court.. and even then often you can't clearly identify the person in the pictures. We've changed some of our habits here. Gonna leave a few lights on that normally are on when I'm up (like my office light). Any of my kids good friends know that we keep odd hours. As it was the night it happened I didn't go to sleep until after 3:30 am. It gets daylight around here after 5:30am so it's likely they came in that 2 hour window.
Cop who took the fingerprints says that they have results back in about 2 weeks so I should know then if who I suspect left any prints.
Scariest thing.. In August I'm going to be on vacation. I could care less about the house and the contents.. but now I'm going to have to board all my kitties instead of just the oldest two. I'm fearful that if someone broke in they'd leave a window or door open or broken and my critters would be gone.
I will likely get a local security company to come by a couple of times a night while I'm away.
