Sorry for your loss and I hope you will recover your guns soon...And if you do, make sure that or those suckers are fully prosecuted.
I have thought much about protecting valuables such as guns, pro-cameras, water crafts, 4Wheeler left unatended while hunting, etc. and I found a cheap very neat little device that may help you and oyhers...The more populated the area you live around, the more chances of pin pointing the exact location of where your missing item is. These little chips are about the size of a US Quarter and the battery lasts 1 year and that is all of your expense as you don't need to pay for any kind of monthly and costly locating service as most GPS systems require...
The way it works is by sending a signal to ANY cellular (iPhone or Android) using the "TrackR" system and this signal creates a network of communications providing you the exact point of where the item is, I have tried mine in San Antonio, TX and it works excellent.
In a gun, the chip is easily concealable inside the stock and behind the recoil pad, etc...I know I am late, but it is just an idea that is worth trying for about $20 -30 US dollars per chip.
See this system at:

See what it is all about and watch the video at the bottom of the page where it says: "See Crowd GPS in Action" ...Then go to the bottom of the page and see the actual tracking network...If you decide to try it, Google it and find the best pricing, usually around $20-30 US.
Best regards,
AZ
