Sorry to hear that. I hope that they will reappear sooner or later on the used market. 001 and 002 serial #s are easy to remember.
I'm surprised that someone stole hifi equipment. I got a friend whos house was robbed when he was on holidays, and nothing from his hifi was stolen. He has a $300.000+ system. His dedicated listening room, which is in his basement (has no windows), was used as a place to cut open his safe. The thievs literally used drills and some other cutters to open the safe a few feet from his speakers !
They did break the safe eventyally, but took cash only (half a million USD).

I feel your pain Sonus. My Sashas ( in candy apple red) were stolen when we moved to Portland a year ago. The scoundrels actually took them to the dealer to potentially audition them to a prospective buyer. Cops could do nothing unless caught, originally, red handed. Possesion of stolen property! Ha, the district atty wouldn't even suggest arrest as defense atty would only have to say they were bought at a flea market. They just let insurance take care of it all.
I strongly encourage all to catelog your gear, take lots of pictures, and if you have the receipts, keep them. Then make sure your insurance policy will cover.
I'm curious - did you find out how they were stolen and make necessary security changes? I would hate for you to have to go through this scenario again.
I'd be a little scared to buy replacements immediately until I knew they would be safe and secure.
I have 1080P HD cameras all over, a new 3G battery backup monitored 24/7 security system, on top of that i signed up for a private security company patrolling the area and visiting my house few times a day and (always the best part for last) a big mean dog outside.
I sure hope this will stop them from coming after me again.
