It's definitely hard to adjust to after a break in, but at the same time, bugler's aren't often known for being violent. And, I think, for me at least, that's what we're fixated on. The safety factor, not necessarily valuables being stolen. I could be wrong. I don't have much of anything valuable worth stealing. I imagine a bugler would walk in, realize we're poor, and walk his/her ass right back out. What I AM afraid of is someone fucking stabbing me in the neck LOLOL The irony is I was quite a little thief growing up (Lol). Karma much?
I wonder if hoarding has a real connection to the fear of break ins. An old friend had an ex husband who was a serious hoarder. Like, piles of stuff, and no room to walk. Their house was very dirty :/ Not messy, but DIRTY.
Originally I thought those who live in poverty are most likely to hoard. Similarly to how homeless people hoard stuff -- even trash. But then, you see regular folks, like on the show Hoarders, who hoard crap.
My husband and I have a lot of "crap". Drawers just full of random shit -- not organized or anything. Then again, we also live in a tiny apartment with no storage LOL So screwdrivers go with the pregnancy tests.
Interesting on the nationality and photo thing. That would make sense because that's a thing here -- applications ask for nationality or ethnic background. Employers ask for photos too. I've had applications ask for ethnic background -- thrown in with gender, military affiliation, ect. Did I mention that I apply with my maiden name because I have very little luck getting interviews with my husband's last name. It is a very common Latin American last name. My first name is also VERY latina. Lol. My parents swear I am not Latin American, but almost every person I meet assumes I'm Mexican LOL Which is nice, for here at least, since I live in a Dominican/Rican neighborhood. I don't receive that internalized white hate LMFAO
