You pathetic rightards live your entire lives in fear, every single minute of the day.
If it's not Muslim women in burqas that have you wetting your little knickers, it's bogeymen breaking into your house.
Get a life, you irrational cowards.
So you are denying the home invasions occur are you?
Or are you denying that criminals kill innocent people?
You are definitely trying to deny something, just wondering what it is?
Household burglary is one of the most widespread crimes in Australia – with around 335,700 break-ins recorded in 2009-10. Money is most commonly stolen (19 per cent) followed by jewellery (18 per cent), with other items such as firearms also taken from homes. Australians are wary of this crime with around 36 per cent believing their house is likely to be burgled in the forthcoming year. Steps can be taken to prevent homes from being burgled using a range of practical burglary prevention guides available on this webpage.

Police are still hunting for a gunman who bashed a Hobart father in a foiled invasion early on Wednesday morning.
The armed intruder broke into the house at Mount Rumney on Hobart's eastern shore and attacked the 65-year-old man, before fleeing when alarms were activated.
While police say it an isolated incident, the ABC can reveal at least four other homes in the Hobart area have been targeted in the past six months, at Battery Point, Mount Stuart, Lutana and Bridgewater.
In each attack, the victims were threatened with a shotgun or pistol.

From Point Piper to Penrith the victims range from millionaires to housing commission tenants.
Since the beginning of the year there have been at least 24 "home invasions" made public, many of them violent.
Sydney Institute of Criminology lecturer Garner Clancy said they may just be a "fad' crime.
Improving home security systems making it harder for thieves has seen them hit when residents are home.
"In the same way car jackings increased when manufacturers made cars harder to steal the criminals evolve and adapt," he said.
"The same with homes."
"As other types of targets become harder there can be a displacement of crime."
He said it was hard to gauge how serious the problem is has been no research or figures about home invasions.
"Criminals will move on to other targets if they see perceive something as high risk and low reward."
