Has someone ever broken into your home?

 

[Anthro]

And lived to tell the tale ?


Sorry FED, you aint getting me

When I used to live in Bramley, half a dozen times. Been in Norwood for 18 years and touch wood, never...

This is South Africa. The poll should be "How many times has someone broken into your home?"

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

thankfully not, but there is always a first time, when Criminals are brazen enough to rob the police themselves.

 

[bwana]

No one besides me.

 

[VooDooC]

Not successfully no, they have tried a couple of times though.

 

[Supervan II]

Yes. Once.

Fortunately for him I wasn't at home at the time.

Years ago, my parents last house in Jhb was broken in to twice, late 90's early 00's. We haven't had an incident in our current house luckily...

 

[Went_For_Beer]

Nope, not yet and I hope they never do. Will be a VERY bad day for the perp if he/she does it while I am home

 

[Pegging]

Not yet. Had my car broken into 7 times.
Once it got stolen, once I caught the guy breaking in but he couldn’t start it.

 

[Brian_G]

Not successfully no, they have tried a couple of times though.

Me too but I still voted Yes, certainly broke into the property anyway.

 

[MikeaMatrix]

Yes, broke in and snuck around my bedroom while I was sleeping, stole, wallet, cellphone etc.

 

[Sepeng]

Growing up at my folks place, yup. Stole cutlery, meat; weren't no cell phones & iPads those days.
As an aside, as a thief, a home robbery surely has to be the more risky/ least rewardy? Maybe the person is away for a few days and you can cart TVs out somehow, but trying to get in, avoid alarms, dogs, people, to get what you can carry in a few bags?

This is South Africa. The poll should be "How many times has someone broken into your home?"

Came to say this - twice for me at same house (we moved since to a much safer area)

 

[PaulGherkin]

Many times... and what kind of stupid question is this?!? This is South Africa

 

[Athos]

Not yet, but they have tried. I have ridiculous security which they haven't got past yet. But one day is one day I guess.

Home invasion count? 2010. Midnight. My home security (was renting) was very lax. Thankfully it turned out we were one of the first over a 4 month odd period. Unfortunately for others, they escalated to rape as well. Eventually one was killed by a security guard, another arrested and given an effective 40 years. The other vanished, most probably back to Mozambique, but I prefer to think of him decomposing in a landfill somewhere.

Used to think like this. The reality is that these fukkers have turned professional now and come in groups of 5 and more, all armed. I have video footage of a break in at my house in 2014, thank God nobody was home.

Under 2 minutes to bypass electric gate, 2 dogs, metal gate, door and alarm, take whatever they wanted and leave.
Armed response guys appeared 18min after alarm triggered, police yet to come, 10 yrs later.

I'm my case I was convinced that the maid was involved after carefully analyzing video footage and the fact that she was conveniently sick and absent on only that day. Fired her and will never employ another one
