I have been robbed!!

MJ,

That is the worst. I hope you have insurance and will be able to upgrade your equip. I am a LEO and urge you to file a police report if you haven't already. Sometimes the police are able to link cases and sometimes get your gear back to you.
Did other folks near you get broken into as well ? I would be concerned about your key being missing. I would make my boat harder to steal by re-keying it or at least installing a hidden switch somewhere.
The pawn shop advice is sound. Be careful though, don't go in telling them you're looking for your stuff. Lots of pawn brokers know the stuff they are getting is hot, they will simply tell you that they don't have it. Instead be a "buyer" and see what they have.
Good luck and don't worry, the vermin that stole your stuff will pay sooner or later.
