As hard as it might be, I think you've chosen a good course of action. Don't let these a$$holes take your music from you. They can take your guitars, but they can't take the music from you. Music is great therapy. Many times I go into my practice area feeling less than happy with life after a long day and after 1-2 hours, I feel completely rejuvinated.
One step forward...that's all it takes to start.
