Sorry to hear of your experience. What is sad is that it could be your closest neighbors if you are really rural. Did you report the theft to the police, and ask that they take fingerprints and such? Chances are it was someone who does this all the time....
I'd invest in a videocamera with a motion sensor too, because as soon as they can tell you've replaced your stuff (boxes broken down, other delivery trucks, etc.) they might be back again. Also, if you ever have a garage sale, keep the garage door closed, so people don't see what else is interesting.
I don't think rural areas are necessarily safer than the city, just my opinion. Different issues to worry about.
