I'm relieved that you did call the sheriff. No, he cannot do anything now. But hopefully you have a local paper that will list police reports. The person who reads it will know that you mean business and will not shrug off this break-in. And the police reports do not give out any information other than the record of the incidence, so the perp will not know what has been investigated.
Hopefully, your break-in was done by the juvenile in your neighborhood...but you never know who is after you in intimidation. And you never know if and when it will esculate into bigger threats.
