Phil
I will join your wife- don't beat yourself up. Determined thieves will always have a good chance.
You could never have predicted it.
Don't rush to sell your guns. It wasn't the volume of your guns that caused the loss.
How many times have we all been shooting clays with fellow members and walked away without locking our cars? I will confess to it.
If JD will let me I will start the thread.

Second George on that. It irks you though. We had an LC Smith 410 stolen out of my uncle's car trunk a long time ago (40 years) and it still bothers the family.

Make sure you keep hitting them too, like once a week that way they will remember you, also tell them you will pay them what they paid for the gun. If they know they are not going to lose money on the deal they will be more open to help you (I know from experience). Eric

Phi, I would start at the "Cash Box". Recently a friend found his Browning which had been stolen several ago in the rack for sale and it was not the first gun which has been recovered at that location.
