Roy Portch, the chairman, said: "We are not happy about it. Obviously you expect changing rooms to be secure.
"I have got to e-mail the secretary of the league.
"Hitchin are going to check their insurance to see if we can claim."
In a statement on their website, Hitchin Town said they will review security arrangements at their ground.
Terry Barratt, the chairman, said: "We are deeply upset that the Bideford dressing room was the subject to the theft of a number of items, including money and valuable possessions.
"We like to think of opposition clubs as our guests and friends, so we are very sorry for what is an unacceptable situation."
"I can assure Bideford and future visitors to our club that we will make every attempt to find out how this happened."
