there are several reasons why people rob. it either they are in poverty, they have psychological problems like kleptomania, they lack self control, they are forced by someone, or they want to get their wants the easy way. there are lots of possible reason that were not mentioned. it's up to us to take precaution on how to protect ourselves. we have to make sure that our house doors and windows are secure and are difficult to intrude. investing on quality locks or house alarm if possible are a few ways of preventing home robbery.

I am sorry to hear that this has happened to you. It is not always as malicious as it seems. Some people are just not thinking about the other people when they do what they do. We cut people off in traffic, we bad mouth someone at the job to get ahead, we take a few grapes out of the bag and some people steal from others to survive. There are penalties for everything we do in life. I have done many things I am sorry about now, but I never intended to hurt anyone, just help myself. I'm not saying be sympathetic, I'm just answering your question.

I'm sorry to hear that. Because of POVERTY I guess that's why people are stealing. Life is very hard today, all of the necessities are now expensive. I think these people are really insane and they will do their guts to rob innocent people.

People rob, I think, because they are too lazy to get an education and get a real job and then have no other options. (Because they ARE lazy and will NOT educate at the point when they decide to rob you.)
They have no conscience. This is Antisocial Personality Disorder and, trust me, these are the baddest of the bad. No emotions, no problems at all taking everything you own! They don't think twice about you or what you will go through.
While they are usually intelligent, they use it to take short cuts to make fast cash. They would tell you..they think to themselves that it isn't personal. They only want money!
-Nothing is lower than a thief! And they could not care less about YOU! So you have to protect your own property. If you want to get an alarm, go ahead. But they will tell you that in most police won't come for quite a while and they will break in your home and be out in less than 5 minutes! They will rob you, even if you rely on an alarm. So an alarm is NOT enough. DO secure your home. LOCK all doors and any entrances..windows, etc..and SECURE your valued items in locked safes too big for them to get out. The harder it is, the better for you!
They want it easy and many make it simple to steal/rob themselves? The alarm won't do alot. They ahve no fears and know the police..even AFTER the alarm company calls, won't come right away. LOCK up everything valuable tught. If they see that you have been at work..remembering they are lazy, then YOU WIN!
If you only hide your things..they know enough about that to guess where you would do that. It's not safe enough. Work hard to update locks ONCE..and you will never be robbed.

you re right its not enough to get an alarm, its better to lock the doors and other possible outlet to be more secure. they are really no feelings and conscience for they make friend to you and you never know he you are being robbed by them.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Your question is not an east one. There are many reasons for such actions. Desperation,addictions,excitement, take your pick. I can tell you that in most cases these things happen by someone you know, someone who was in your home someone who had inside knowledge. An alarm system is good, so is a big dog, I have three. should any one try to break into my home they would fast become lunch!!! I know this sounds crude, but my daughter and grandchildren live with me in the country, and I have had experiences with thieves on my property in the past. My family comes first!! Good Luck in the future,I wish you well!!

So sorry to hear that. Most do it to earn a living but I really think it is not right to to it since you have earned that property of yours and no one has the right to get it from you without your permission.

you are right without the permission of the own they are not allow but this people also have no conscience and no respect to their fellow people for they care for their self. some of them are being influence by their friends in order to sustain for their needs.

I am sure there are any number of excuses, but the main one is they are to lazy to get a job and haven't been taught that there will be consequences to pay,maybe not today but eventually they will pay.
I am sorry this happened but now that it has you know to make sure you secure you home so that if they come back they will have to work for what they steal!
