It is one of the most aptly & clearly named crimes: it is an invasion in every sense of the word. Even if they only rob you, they leave deep emotional scars.
just a regular burglary can be traumatic. By buddy's house got hit, and he was pretty upset for years. It made him want to sell his home and want to move. Nobody should have that unsafe feeling about their home.
Last year, my house got hit while I was out of town for work, and my wife had left for an appointment. That hit her pretty hard, because I wasn't there at all.
I had to beef up security, alarms, cameras in order to present a credible change that things were better and safer to counter my wife's fears.
