Having been subjected to a burglary once, this should be to some degree an easy subject to write about. First of all the idea that a stranger had been in my home and ransacked my house was disgusting and frankly sickening. I did not want to sleep on the disheveled bed, I didn’t want to touch the bureau drawer’s contents that were strewn all over the room, or the closet items scattered through-out the house. The general mess they left did make me wonder what kind of people they were that would try to destroy our home, yet not hurt our little dog!
My first thought was “Oh my goodness, my groceries are gone!” I had gone to the grocery store that day for a couple weeks supply of groceries, and for a young growing family, it wasn’t a small amount of cash then and it sure wouldn’t be now. I hasten to add, none of my groceries were gone, but a few other possessions were.
Now for items I’d hate to lose in a burglary?
- Electronics
- Jewelry
- Cash
- Tools
- Collector items
- Paintings
- Automobile
- Fuel from my car
- Lawn equipment
- Silverware
To put these in any kind of order would be left up to each individual. Personally I would hate to start replacing any on the list.
