Flip Got Broken Into - Any Suggestions?

Welp... Just got some terrible news. 
At around 12:00 noon our flip here in Atlanta got broken into. 

They stole all the tools we had inside the property - but thankfully they didn't steal our appliances. 
We have a simplisafe system in there already, so I think that scared them off. 

But does anyone in here have any extra advice on what you've done / what you would do in this situation? 

I want to get cameras for the property - but cameras require wifi. Given this is a renovation project we obviously have no intention of getting wifi set up for the house. So that's a bit of a difficult option.

I'd put some wireless tracking devices on/in your valuables.  Something like Apple AirTags that are gonna last a bit and might help you recover the toolbox or appliances, if stolen.  

Camera will only help you watch them walk away with it.  It won't speed up reaction time and usually doesn't help you catch 'em.   However, cameras would discourage some people.
