What happens after you file a police report, burglary, guy caught on camera?

So, I caught a person we know on camera going through my cabinets when we were not home. We used to keep a vacation fund piggy bank up in the cabinet, but moved it after it was robbed a few months ago. Other misc things and cash from other locations have gone missing since then as well. So we set up a hidden camera, and found out the thief was one of our "friends." We have all his information, address, full name, etc. We have the pictures which are not of the best clarity but clearly he can be identified. He has stolen at least $1,500 from us in cash alone.

So, we will file a police report today.

What happens next? Anything? Or do we have to take it to civil court or only file an insurance claim?

Will the police come to out house to finger print? Do we have to testify in court? Will it even get that far?

I ask since we were robbed 10 years ago. Someone broke a window and took our computer, TV, digital camera, Stereo, and a paintball gun. The police came, took a report, and nothing happened, ever. We had clear hand prints on the glass. They said they would work on it, but when I called months later they laughed at me, said it was a small crime and likely someone we knew, and that they were not going to do anything. With the camera shot and known person in this case, I am hoping it won't be the same...

Anyone been through the process and have any insight or information as to what to expect? Are we on our own? With the video and known residence, is there more of a chance of seeing something done?
