When you get robbed- part 1

Burglary is a scenario you don’t think about because until it happens to you, it’s something that only happens to other people. The experience, as most victims will tell you, is one that leaves you traumatised and very violated.

I was lucky to grow up in a house that was never robbed. Locking doors at night was not mandatory. I grew up in a homestead where boys didn’t use catapults like neighborhood kids but pellet guns to shoot at birds. What a feast we would have afterwards? Doves were a real treat. The storeroom door still bears testimony to the many days of target shooting; to this day it is still decorated with a thousand bullet holes.
