Unfortunately you can't unless there is some distinct marking, ID, engraving, etc that you put on them. At least for manual/hand tools anyway. Now, electric, pnuematic, hydraulic, etc may have serial numbers for ID purposes. That's the difference between cars and tools...cars have vin #'s, tools do not. It is almost impossible to track down and ID a wrench, hammer, socket, etc. Unless they took the whole tool box with the tools in it
(which they didn't) that was probably the best way to ID your stuff. A buddy of mine isn't a mechanic, but has a buttload of tools. He engraves every single wrench, socket, drill, etc that he has. Sorry to hear of this and I agree with you...thieves should be bludgened to death. There is a place for a many of bad things in this world, but a thief isn't one of them in my opinion.
