I can relate to the feeling of loss after a burglery. My house has been hit 3 times. Never stole any of my tools, but they did take some of my guns. It finally took getting bars over the reachable windows and posting Alarm signs and security lights to keep the $@%$##%@#$ at bay. I wanted to plant some punji pits, but the local PD said that's illegal.
Maybe this is a sign that it's time to start scaling back a little. I don't think you are too old to give it up. Work from your garage or basement. Or you could build a small shop in a shed or out building if you have the real estate. Many of us here work in small shops, and while it may curtail the over all size of projects we take on, we can still work with the woods we love.
Best of luck and keep us up to date on how your shop proceeds.
