I don't know if insurance over there works like it does in the states, but here you can wait to do the repair work at your convenience. For the seats that might be a good idea (wait a few years, until they have more wear on them). If not, you might want to consult with a good upholstery shop, they can tell you how hard it is to get it right. I know that for older cars, just replacing the upholstery can sometimes look terrible (either it isn't an exact pattern, or the rest of the seat has shifted and settled, so it is just baggy).
And I'm in shock about how good the police support is for a break in - any place I have lived, you would be lucky to have them fingerprinting a crime scene if it involved less than a murder or serious felony - back in Cleveland they would not even come out to take the report for property crimes, you had to come in to the station and fill them out yourself.
