House Burgled -- Tenant Robbed -- What to Do?

Just got a call from my tenant.  The my rental house was broken into while the tenant was away for a brief vacation.  Some of his stuff was stolen: XBOX, guns, etc.

Any quick advice on what to do?

Here's what I'm thinking...Secure the point of entry (window), check with insurance to see what might be covered on the break in.

Anything else that folks would recommend?

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the info guys. Handyman will board up the window & I will get that repaired tomorrow. 

    Police report is done. Insurance is called for damages to the home. 

    Hope I have all of my bases covered. I suggested the tenant have renters insurance, but did not require it. I did have him initial on lease that it was recommended & he is responsible for losses.
