Having had the unfortunate experience of having thugs break into our home, I would never wish this to anyone.

It's terrifying. Add the fear of being raped for a lady and I can only imagine what she was going through!
It's even worse now. Do you move the house? Remember this is not only a house but a home you have spend time to invest in. If you move, to where?
Pole kwake sana. Is there any safe hood?
