Not likely to return, but then again they didn't take your keys as a trophy either.
Actually, thieves are VERY VERY likely to return. They usually give a week or so for items to be replaced.. electronics and what not.
Also, door locks should ALWAYS and seldom are secured through the frame of the house. ALL and I mean ALL key locks are almost worthless now. Most 14 year olds can get around a house key lock now. Do a Google search (or UTUBE) for "key bumping". Electronic keypads (not paying for monthly security fees) are the best security locks now.
