Apparently this is a common thing that happens to people who haven't much experience in "break and entering"- they are really scared and nervous and ... well you saw the result.

Sorry to hear about your experience- thankfully I haven't had it happen to me so far.
All I can say is more bars, a big alarm and have insurance.
Also I don't leave my gear anywhere- I load it in and out everytime and keep it in my house which is also my studio- which I do not advertise as being there.
Not fool proof- but has worked well enough so far, touch wood.
