Recent break-in HELP!

Sunday at 4:00 a individual broke into my home and was stuffing his pockets with what he could.  During which my dog woke up, went downstairs and woke up the whole house.  We got into a hand to hand altercation with the intruder before he ran away.  We know who he is (very small town) and currently there is a warrant for his arrest.  
We are OK.
Now here is the problem.  During his pocket stuffing he grabbed the keys to my triplex (currently 100% occupied).
My approach-
I called each tenant to explain and apologize
I suggested with their permission  that I personally come and change the locks same day.
All tenants agreed and I changed the locks.

Please let me know how you think i handled this process and what you would have done differently.
