A Homeowners Loss Goes Beyond Possessions

Home sweet home. It is your safe place, your sanctuary, and the one place you go to for comfort and safety away from the stressful and chaotic outside world. Home is where you can fully relax and have nothing to fear, that is, until your home gets broken into.

Without some kind of home security system, your home becomes an open target to thieves who are watching and patiently waiting for the right moment to enter your home, violate it, and plunder through its contents. Then they will flee with their bounty leaving a path of destruction in their wake.

What that one-act does causes more damage than having your belongings stolen. Most “things” are replaceable. What gets stolen that isn’t so easy to replace is your peace of mind. You know, that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you walk through your front door at the end of a long day. So tired and eager to kick off your shoes and relax. That feeling of warmth and comfort will disappear along with your possessions if your home gets broken into. No longer will you feel safe and secure, and being able to relax will prove difficult. Instead you will feel nervous, jittery, and filled with worry for your family’s safety. Every little sound your house makes will get your attention. Even the slightest rustle of leaves blowing about on your lawn from the wind will cause you anxiety because you know if they can break in once, they can do it again.

It is only natural to feel “on guard” wanting to protect your family after such an ordeal. The problem is, that nervous and “on point” feeling won’t go away. Many families end up moving because their home doesn’t feel comfortable anymore. Once that kind of damage occurs, there really isn’t much you can do to replace your sense of security. The irony in all of this is that the thieves steal something from you that is worthless to them, but priceless to you and you weren’t fully aware of its value until now.
