And, though we are sorry for all of your losses, and for the mess, and the hassle, we're happy that you were not at home when they visited.

The nasty thing is the delayed shock and the feeling of violation.
It happened to me ten years ago, but I am still paranoid about phone calls with no caller ID and strangers hanging around in the street, especially as I live in a cul-de-sac. Mine was well planned as two other houses in the close which had single occupants were burgled as well. I had test phone calls beforehand to see if I was home and on two occasions people turned up on my doorstep and could not explain why they were there.
The galling thing was that my neighbours heard the burglars, but did nothing "because they thought I was getting the dustbin out" and it was nowhere near dustbin day.
On the positive side, if you were insured new for old, you do update a whole lot of equipment like a brand new computer. As I'm minimalist in heart I have little of value that I don't use.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

We were burgled and we have an alarm fitted.
He broke in through an upstairs window, he removed one small pain, and crawled through, on the bed were some of my cloths for holiday, he ran down the stairs then was caught by a p.i.r, so he ran back up on his way out took all my clothes off the bed.
The lesson is that if a thief has a small brain due to drug abuse the best alarm is a wild dog roaming the house, because in the U.K. it is an offence to attack an intruder.
Oh and by the way even if they were caught they would be let off with a warning.
And would plead that he should get a small sentence because of his mental health state.
Oh dear here I go again.
I must say it does unerve you.
life is to enjoy.

if you mean to get a new key reprogrammed in the u.k you take the master key to a main dealer so yes you can.

You can get the locks changed, yes, but it would be quite expensive, I suspect. It might be covered under the insurance -- you could ask your insurance company about it.
I'm really sorry to hear about the burglary, E.J.
