Wikipedia defines burglary (also called breaking and entering) as a crime, the essence of which is an illegal entry into a building for the purpose of committing a crime. Usually, this offense is theft, but most jurisdictions specify others which fall within the ambit of burglary. Every year, millions of citizens are burglarized. There is no word to describe what people feel when thieves enter their homes and found out that they have been burglarized. Immediately, there is a feeling of fear in wondering if the burglar is still at home and in rage. It blows the mind psychologically to think that some creep might now have a treasured family item of great sentimental value.
