I have been robbed a few times. Lots of times in the UK and a few times in South Africa.

The UK ones were easy as it was more sneaky crimes breaking into the car stealing my work stock. More of a nuisance than anything else. I tried to catch them a few times but the police force kept on buggering up.

The ones in South Africa though are totally different and you have to know what is going on.We had an attempted armed robbery a few years ago but they didn't make it past the gate on the kitchen door. It was as real as it gets.

The other times were break  ins when we weren't at home and they didn't get much. Crime is a fact of life hear and they wont hesitate to kill you. Every house has alarms and electric fences for protection plus a guard dog or two. Some have an armory of guns for protection but I have decided not to go that route. I can protect my family and will do whatever it takes.
