I am very sorry to hear this happened to you, despite the fact that it does seem to have a message to reflect on. I think it is perfectly fine, even healthy, to be a little down from all this!
You didn't ask me, but if I may, it seems to be possible to open temples in a fully internal way if it helps you continue your practices. I can't get them to feel as strong yet, and at least for me it is harder to stir the emotions without the paraphernalia, but some mental preparation in the devotional direction beforehand, incense and a chair seems to be doing something for me.
If it helps at all, I grew up used to crime and a little red thread prayed over as you tie it on your belongings will take away a great deal of the "glow" of your personal items that thieves seem so good at detecting.
