It is said there are lots of burglaries in the big cities. Have you ever experienced before?

Yes, I was while in an apartment in a small city several years ago. It felt like my home was "raped" and though I continued to live in that apartment for a few more years, with safety modifications my brother installed for me, I would not ever feel safe there again. When I left that apartment my next apartment had a security system. And when I left there to buy a house and started having problems with a creepy neighbor a security system quickly was installed. Once you've been through a robbery, safety moves up in your consciousness more so, not that it's back seat but sometimes we think we're safer than we are.

What an experience! Hopefully you didn't get too much damages financially on this incident.

Financially it wasn't a lot but when you're young and just starting out it's pretty much everything of any value that's gone. I had renter's insurance though so I ended up with a newer and better vcr and stereo (yes this was long before the DVD days).

Hello there, honestly it is the first time I hear about renter's insurence. So I do a search and get more details about it for my own future knowledge. Meanwhile, I am really impress on the integrated law that your country carry out to protect your people. In addition, I learn one thing new through Mylot. LOL

i remember when i was about 7 we had a burglary, we were all asleep in the house. i cant even remember what they took but i was pretty scared because we had been home and in our beds at the time and i remember thinking how lucky i was that i didnt wake up for some reason and go to mum and dads room. i shudder to think what would have happened

Your story is just like a real movie. I have to say it is scary. Thank god, you all were safe from the burglary.
