Being burgled is a harrowing experience - and can leave a victim trembling and weeping uncontrollably. But to help guard against it, a former burglar has revealed what homeowners can do to make their property less desirable to crooks.
The man - who remains anonymous - says he served six months in jail after being charged with 'burglary and residential burglary'. He was convicted at aged 18 - but now works as a security guard after 'turning over a new leaf'.
Taking to Reddit, he said: "I was convicted of two felonies when I was 18. I am 26 now and recently got my felonies sealed. I was in lockup for about six months until I was able to get bailed out. I definitely wouldn't want to go back to jail."
