O.K., with those two answers, here is my best conclusion:
They have either been in your house before or are friends with someone who has been in your house.
Here is why I say this:
1) No ransacking. You can usually conclude that the person a) knew what to look for and b) knew where it was. Otherwise your house gets "tossed" while they look for stuff.
2) The dog. Let's assume that they barked. You could reasonably guess that the robbers knew you didn't leave the dog in the house and they might have known that the dogs were penned. Not a 100% conclusion, but a reasonable one as most robbers will avoid a house if they hear dogs barking (because they don't know if the dog is in the house, out back, penned, etc.)
3) Your kids. Judging by the ages of your kids I would guess that it is an older friend or older sibling of a "friend" of your kids. Kids talk, they don't know better. Long story short, I just get the impression that the robbers were too familiar with your house, your animals and your layout.
4) Fingerprints. By having so many suggests someone who is not "professional", i.e. kids, teens, etc.
Then you add to the equation how many home robberies are done by somebody who has previously been inside the house and thus my conclusion.
If I were you I would start "rumours". i.e. dogs aren't penned any more, you got an alarm system (an alarm system will deter kids, teens, ect), etc.
