MEET THE BURGLAR
I have only Been burgled once, and the burglar wasn't even that successful; he ended up leaving me some of his goods rather than leaving with mine. I could hear him moving about. I shouted, he ran, leaving a typewriter behind, doubtless removed from the neighbour's house. I considered myself lucky because of the stories about the mess burglars make when they're on job - the vandalised rooms, the broken furniture, the meals they cook for themselves, the urine.
Crime prevention* advertisements exploit such images to persuade people to lock their Windows. But my burglar wasn't like that - he was careful, meticulous, and tidy (even if a bit noisy), he didn't try to cook himself a meal or use my house as a toilet.
Sentences for house burglary can be quite stiff - the maximum is 14 years, but many burglars today end up in magistrates' courts facing the fines. As another burglar put it to me „I had enough in my piggy bank* for the first fine."
But what are burglars really like? How could I meet one personally?
A chain of association eventually led me to Danny (name changed). In official terms he's a recidivist. „Money, clothes, and having a good time is my life," he says. Danny's profession runs in the family (his father is currently on the run for an armed robbery offence) but he says his family has nothing to do with it. It was his friends. He was 15, they were 16, he was their eager pupil. He started with a warehouse. „We were careful to choose the one without the burglar alarm. We got in through a ground floor window."
