When you are right, you got right on your side. You are right and they are wrong.

Before you do anything you MUST have a police report. If no forced entry is found and maintenance can be proved to be in the apartment that day then they can be blamed for leaving the door open. This is an easy win case in small claims.

In movies people pick locks. In real life they kick in the door or a smash a window. No forced entry and you have neglect. Pointing that out to the landlord AFTER you have a police report and telling them that you are following legal means might get you a out of court settlement.

Will help if you can price everything up on Newegg.com somewhere. Receipts would be better.

^ receipts or even a credit card statement ^

Yes, get a police report. Just call local PD and say you had a break-in recently and want a police report to assist in pursuing a lawsuit. Do it ASAP, the longer you wait, the less effective it might be
