Sorry to hear about your breakin, gt, but perhaps it was, as you say, a wake-up call that will save your life in future. Sounds like an amateur or a druggie -- a professional you would never have known was there until you woke up in the morning (if you woke up!).
Statistically crime rises as the economy falls. It is a great pity one now has to think about self-defense in one's own home, but it is what it is. Many of my friends have recently become gun-owners and I believe that to be a necessity these days, unfortunately (doesn't matter how big or how young you are if the other guy has a gun and you don't!). The days of never locking one's front door are gone forever. . .
Anyway, all's well that ends well. You'll learn to love your gun. . .
