Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

I recently had a locker of mine, which had a 4 number combo lock, broken into and certain items, whose value totals to around $65, were taken. There were no cameras in the area and I am reluctant to look into an "investigation" due to the small value of the items taken, but I would like to threaten "prosecuting" whoever did it to the full extent of the law. What are the penalties for my situation in the eyes of the law?

Thanks.
