When a burglary happens, what a homeowner feels afterwards is the sense that his privacy was disturbed. Very often, however, these people are not distressed by the financial loss, but rather by the sense of sentimental value these items had. In general, burglars' targets are electronic gadgets such as televisions, laptops, computers, cameras, mobile phones or any other expensive gadgets. Once they have been stolen it can take years of saving money to purchase new ones, while an insurance company can refund only some part of the cost. Any time you remember that your computer, for example, was stolen and that you are now collecting money for the new one, it will evoke the feelings of frustration and anxiety.
