Burglary can happen to anyone and being robbed is a
traumatic experience, it’s not great to know that your private space has been
invaded by a complete stranger. It can help a great deal to know what to do
ahead of time if you are ever in that situation.
The second you think you have been robbed, the first thing
you should do is call the police! If you call the police immediately the
burglar could still be nearby and there is more of a chance of you getting your
stuff back. Remembering details about the person who broke in can help a lot
too, that’s if you actually saw the intruder; try to recall information such as
their age, clothing and race. Finally, don’t move anything in your home until
the police arrive, they need to see exactly what they’re dealing with.
The next step to take is to find out where the burglar
broke in; whether it is your door or window make sure it is locked and secured
properly in case someone comes back again. A good idea would be to get a home
security system installed, if a burglar sees a security camera or an alarm it
can scare them off. Another important step is to inform your neighbours, they
can keep an eye on your home when you are away and be aware that they might be
targeted next, the more people aware that there has been a break in, the
better.
It’s not fun to be a victim of a robbery and it can bring up
a lot of emotions, it’s horrifying to know a stranger has intruded your personal
space. The best thing to do if you ever find yourself in this situation is to
take some time off, get everything sorted out and relax.
