OP, I second barbu's hope you can get a working machine out of this. Perhaps call Apple and politely explain what happened including the theft. Ask to speak to a senior adviser. If this doesn't work and the insurance claim doesn't come through, email Mr. Cook with a polite note of what happened. You never know.
I say all of this because I had an awful 3rd party repair experience back in 1999, the shop was taking forever with my brand new lemon of an iMac because they were only being paid $20 to fix it on warranty. When I finally got it back 2 months later, I had an Apple senior advisor send me a letter to confirm if anything went wrong with the repairs Apple would give me a new machine. 28 days later, the machine acted up and Apple made good on their word. I got a brand new iMac, which lasted me almost 4 years.
I wish you all the best MonkeySee...
