if you have a copy of your unencrypted wallet.dat somewhere and you encrypt it LATER all your private keys are UNSECURED which you had in the wallet until the encryption task happened.
An old backup you stored somewhere?
What does that actually mean?
You gave the staff of some remote file storage site a free unencrypted copy of your wallet yet are surprised they took the coins?
Or what?

Cry, OP. Just let it all out.
You're not getting a dime back. The FBI won't care.

It might just be a coincidence and will not improve your situation, but there was a discussion today
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113654.40
and then someone found this

Probably because of the name "BitThief", people started speculating over the purpose of this program so I posted a link to your members page at the ethz to point out that this programm is not related to bitcoins. A few minutes later I replaced the link with the following
http://bitthief.ethz.ch/
This happened about an hour before the transaction of your funds. As I said before, this might be a coincidence but I am really sorry if I have drawn attention to you and your funds.

Downloaded, ran in a sandbox, no processes spawned except for BitThief itself, which is a purely leeching torrent client. Stupid and pointless, but not a wallet stealer. Running in ANUBIS to see if I missed something locally.
And here's something to cheer you up.
UPDATE:
Yeah, BitThief does jack shit with bitcoins. The only similarity it shares is that it's P2P
was there any connection with the university IP and the wallet?
Any tips on what to do next? I'm still a bit fuzzy about the details. Can we blacklist those funds somehow?
Figure out how it happened, gather details, file a police and FBI cybercrimes report.
Make sure the method of theft is not still open.
Is your computer infected? Did you notice anything unusual? Did you run a full AV scan?

Is this incident somehow related to this?:
Well I was wondering how long it would take for people to notice. It's me 
And no I am not putting lots of hashing power to the network, notice that it just says "relayed by" and not "mined by". I'm performing some measurements, paper is due in a few weeks.

Before any further steps to investigate the transactions, you have to prove that you owned the stolen funds.
Well that shouldn't be too hard, I can sign a message with the private key belonging to one of the addresses. But I don't see that doing any good. 
That sucks, bro.
If it's any consolation (probably not), I heard a story on this forum once about a guy that formatted a drive with tens of thousands of coins on it. He said the worst part was his wife knowing about it.

I feel bad for you

You're pretty much screwed. :\
Yep, that much I knew already.

Well, just to prove that even long time members are not secure from being stupid. My wallet has just been cleared out:
At first I thought maybe it's just an old transaction that has only now been submitted, but I can't find any wallet of mine that owns those keys.
I had my wallet encrypted, but this was apparently an old backup of my wallet that I must have stored somewhere.
