i know how you feel.. you're one lucky gal that your husband was home!!! (and get that alarm, we just got ours)
 
last week, monday, my house was broken into.. they took mostly electronic items, helped themselves in the fridge and pantry AND also took my kapono (4months old only) =( this was when NOBODY was home. we were all at work, and all the windows, except the downstairs bathroom, were locked.  it happened between the hours of 830am-4pm (they either knew our schedule or since there was no car out front, was lucky).  i havent heard anything from the sheriff's nor kapono. im really bitter how sick these people could be!!! and to think where he is just worries me and makes me sick to my stomach about what you mentioned about the pit bulls (i actually started to get teary eyed)...  
now, we're all aware - LOCK ALL DOORS/WINDOWS BEFORE LEAVING HOME, EVEN IF ITS HOT, LOCK YOUR DOORS/WINDOWS!!! turn a fan on for him/her to be able to get some air or a possible a/c... you dont want to come into your home and your baby missing just like i did.. it wasn't the best day of my life...  
in closing, whoever has my kapono. please bring him home.  he missed his vet appt this past weekend and really needs to see a vet.  bring him home, no questions asked. a monetary reward will be given!!! 714.292.9489
