My laptop got stolen a few hours ago. It had all my data including bitcoin too.
Fortunately I had the seeds with me and I have now installed Electrum on my work machine and recovered the wallet with those keys.
It also asked for a password and I have gone with a new one. The wallet is still Synchronizing.

Now my question is, are my bitcoins safe now? Do I need to do anything else? The stolen laptop has the electrum in it, what else should I do to make sure that my bitcoins are secure?
like all the other's answer, move it to new wallet ASAP, and hope the thief don't know about cryptocurrency. on next, make sure you back up all private keys and wallet data on external hardisk or flashdisk
