Answer:
1. Lend a hand to your neighbors
In the aftermath of a burglary, your neighbors are likely scared and upset. Their property has possibly been damaged and their sense of security and safety has been violated. You can help your neighbors cope by reminding them they are not alone in the recovery process.
Offer to help them clean up and repair any damages.
If their property has been severely damaged, you and your other neighbors can consider hosting a neighborhood fundraiser and donating the funds to the family to help pay for home repairs and replacements.
You may also consider welcoming them into your home and letting them stay in a spare bedroom until their home is repaired or they feel more at ease.
Keep in frequent contact. While it may sound small, sometimes the best thing you can do is simply remind the family you are there for them, whatever their needs.
Consider implementing community safety initiatives, such as a neighborhood watch program. By looking out for one another’s homes, keeping your eye out for suspicious activity, and checking in on a neighbor’s home when they are on vacation, you and your neighbors may feel more secure.
2. Talk with your family
If you have children, talk with them about how they are feeling in reaction to the burglary. They may be worried about a burglary happening to their own home, or they may wonder why burglaries happen in the first place. As a family, have an open conversation about the burglary that occurred and let your children share their reactions and any concerns they have.
You can also take this time to remind your children about safety basics, including never opening the door to strangers and using the buddy system. Consider establishing a neighborhood “safe house” where your children can go if they feel unsafe when home alone. Make sure this home is within easy walking distance and that the family is one with which your children are comfortable.
3. Update the security of your home
After a neighborhood burglary, you may not feel as safe in your own home. SafeWise advisory group member Ben Stickle, Ph.D., notes that burglars often return to the area of the first crime.
"Did you know that after a burglary, there is a high likelihood that another will occur in the same neighborhood within a few weeks2 and that you may be a repeat victim?3 That's why any burglaries or burglary attempts must be reported to both police and the community," Stickle says. "In fact, notifying your neighbors may even reduce the likelihood of other burglaries.4"
He recommends taking precautions as soon as you hear about a nearby burglary. Some ways to take action:
