What's the difference?

Two sample sentences that Tetsuo and I were discussing just now (yes, this is how we spend our Saturday nights...)
What's the difference between them?
I came home to find my house stolen by aliens.
I came home and found my house stolen by aliens.

I say that using "to find" instead of "and found" adds an element of surprise, but this may not necessarily be true...

Opinions please!
