Re: medical marijuana and home break ins

Your insurance company will require a police report. If you know who broke in you might talk with them, if you feel it's safe, and persuade them to return your stuff.

Otherwise, why not contact the police, who are in the best position to investigate the theft, and find out if any of the stuff is being sold. Unless of course the reason you mention you are a medical user of marijuana is that you are not on the confidential registry in Colorado and do not have a registration card so signifying.
