The typical burglary victim is often traumatized. From one day to the next, a person no longer feels safe within their four walls. You should consider this when planning your house, when the time is right. The police advisory offices are also very helpful and resourceful in this regard.
I agree. I wouldn’t have anything valuable at home that others would want and that the household insurance wouldn’t cover – unfortunately..
I completely agree with . Maybe not necessarily with such a door, but the house should definitely be properly secured. My sister/parents also have a steel door at their basement entrance. The lock is rubbish, but when the door is not in use, there is always a heavy steel bar placed across it from the inside. This combination should hold.
Most victims (from what you read or see) usually have less trouble with the loss of valuables, but significantly more because of the intrusion into their privacy. Panic attacks, inability to sleep, repeated checks to see if everything is secured, jumping at the slightest noise, etc.
I read some time ago that especially "opportunistic thieves" are not after great wealth. 30 to 100 Euros (for the next fix) is enough for them. By the way, you cannot tell from the outside of most new buildings what is inside to be taken. (If the offender would think, they could also leave houses alone for the first 5-10 years after construction. Who has wealth when they have to pay off loans of several hundred thousand Euros?)
Police advisory offices: I can only recommend them to everyone! One of the first statements the advisor made was: Mechanical protection comes before electronic protection.
