Glad to hear you're safe. My sister in Atlanta was confronted in broad daylight in a Sears parking lot by a young female with a baseball bat leveled at her head. Mary, whose adrenaline was flowing for about a week afterwards, stared her down and the girl finally took off, getting into a waiting car with a man in it. She figures it was her first attempt. The cops were also amazed at her detailed description but Mary has a photographic memory and could describe her down to her size 8 silver sneakers.
She was probably after the cash and drugs, maybe selling your credit cards for a few bucks. I always keep a copy of my credit card numbers and the phone number to contact for lost or stolen cards on a (password-protected) flashdrive at home.
Contact any one of the three major credit bureaus (see below) and put a fraud alert on your accounts for at least 90 days; they contact each other so you only have to do it once, and if you are a crime victim it should not cost you a dime. You may even want to put a temporary freeze on your credit accounts, which should also be free (so no one can use your ID to open new accounts in your name.)

If the stolen information includes your driver's license or other government-issued identification, contact the agencies that issued the documents (like the DMV) and follow their procedures to cancel a document and get a replacement. Ask the agency to "flag" your file to keep anyone else from getting a license or another identification document in your name. Same with any banking information, your pharmacy, and your doctors. Cleaning up a medical identity crime is complicated and time-consuming. You should immediately notify your health insurer, give them a copy of the police report and, as appropriate, send copies of the police report along with a letter to inform insurers, healthcare providers and credit bureaus. Ultimately, you should have any errors in your various medical files corrected.
Change the locks on your doors and add deadbolts if you didn't have them. For your own peace of mind a security system can be set up for not a lot of money. Contact your credit card companies and tell them what happened; close the old cards and ask for new cards; they may require a copy of the police report.
If you are a homeowner or even a renter, check your insurance policy to see if it covers expenses incurred due to the theft and assault (like replacing stolen car keys, which can get expensive to replace.) Notify your cell provider that any calls after whatever the date and time your cell was stolen are not yours. You may want to give a heads up to the folks whose numbers were on your cell, in case they get weird calls.
