When a home is broken into, it is a traumatic thing for everyone living there.

Feelings of being violated and abused, and a now constant worry that “THEY” may come back haunt your every thought. It takes awhile for anyone to properly recover from the ordeal of a break-in.

One would therefore think the SAPS would make it somehow easier to cope with such an ordeal. One might ask: What could they do to make it easier? Well, for starters, responding to the call reporting the robbery would be a good thing!

After all, if police do not bother rocking up at your home when you have been broken into, when will they come?

In a recent robbery, police took a whopping 12 hours to respond. When a second incident was reported, police simply did not even bother to respond.
