If you don't mind me asking, how were these coins stored and secured? It might help if you can figure out how they were compromised.

What wallet were you using?
Do you have an android phone?
Do you have a Bitcoin wallet on your android phone? If so which one?
The fact that the thief gave you change is interesting. Why not steal all the BTC?

... I am looking into it but so far it looks like your are the victim of a known issue, the bad signature bug caused by a faulty secure random number generator. ... News: Due to a serious flaw in Android, all users of Android-based wallets must take immediate action. More info You can find out more there. But he said "i don't use android phone." does this RNG problem affects web wallets too, then whole internet is doomed

@BurtW: Incorrect. The ECDSA signature is the first part of the script, starting with 304…. The last part that you've highlighted is scriptPubKey, which is the same because the Bitcoin address for both transactions you checked was the same. So no, this was not the cause of the theft.

The signatures are not the same. The bolded portions is the public key and it will remain the same for all tx from the same address.What is commonly (and incorrectly) referred to as the "signature" is actually the "ScriptSig & PubKey". The portion beginning with 0x30 is the actual signature. The portion of the signature that is the unique random number is underlined (thank for correction: M4v3R). The portion beginning with 0x04 is the pubkey. This diagram might help it shows a breakdown of the TxIn structure. https://en.bitcoin.it/w/images/en/e/e1/TxBinaryMap.pngFor secure ECDSA signatures one must use a nonce (number used once) which hasn't already been used in a prior signatures. Although it doesn't need to be random (just unique) large random numbers are normally used to simplify nonce selection. If the nonce is reused then the private key can be reconstructed from the other information. The android flaw is that it duplicated random numbers however the OP indicated he doesn't use an android phone. On edit: r value can be "eyeballed" but it is the portion underlined not the bolded portion. Thanks M4v3R

Can you contact blockchain to get a record of logins to your account? You may have a key stroke logger program that is installed on your machine and they just collected your login info from that data. If blockchain shows someone logged in as you, at a time that doesn't look familiar to you, they probably used more traditional hacking methods to get access. Let's rule out the easy stuff first.

Also, thanks to D&T for your great post (as always).
However, let's talk about your password on blockchain.info. How many characters is it? Did you use the same password anywhere else? Was it "strong" and "long"?

Oh come on now, don't throw salt in this users wound. If you were driving home from your bank with thousands of dollars in your wallet and armed thieves stole all your cash but one dollar in your front pocket. You'd tell people they stole ALL your money too.

Yeah, but what they can do is limited to: "The company is offering a Bitcoin retrieval service to individuals, companies and businesses around the globe who may need Bitcoin recovered from damaged hard drives, memory cards and mobile phones." http://www.sytech-consultants.com/
