Commiserations. Happened to us some years ago but the burglars were disturbed by my answer machine going off and dropped a lot of stuff in their haste to leave.
Just a bit of advice. It's quite a shock and it may well be some days before you discover everything that's been taken, possibly even longer. We found exactly that and it was a very sobering experience discovering other small items which were missing and wondering what else they'd taken. As for the keys, it goes without saying that if they have the keys, the cars are vulnerable and you need to let your insurers know ASAP if you haven't done so already. It's not unknown for burglars to return a day or two after a burglary so changing locks etc. also a good idea and checking that no ID/finance related documentation has been taken. Honestly you think you'll immediately notice what's been taken but the shock to the system makes that very hard indeed in my experience.
