Reply #27: Britain has a horrible problem with burglary. [View All]

[SmokingJacket]

I'm only speaking from personal experience, but my family members in the UK have been robbed mercilessly. All the family heirlooms are gone. My grandparents had their jewelry stolen one evening while they watched TV, and the burglar also took a dump in their hallway.

I suspect knowing that my grandfather couldn't have a gun to blow his head off made the burglar rather more gutsy than otherwise.

Still... so a lot of people are poorer in material things and are being broken into regularly. To me, it's better than having a country loaded with guns.

But it's close.
