You should always buy expensive stuff on credit card, as it gives you more protection- sometimes even insurance against such robbery. It also means that any refund should(!) get credited to the card - so you get the credit even if you don't get the item back.
I do wonder why you can't just report it to the police and the shop and if someone tries to get a refund for the same item on a card with your last few digits, they get questions asked. Would that be enough evidence?
I went to see Midge Ure in Manchester last week. He started talking about this fight that erupted in the stalls before he even came out on stage. Turns out some bloke had bought tickets for seats a few rows behind the ones that had been in his wallet when it was stolen.
