I hate them scumbags, I was broken into just over 4yrs ago and the scumbag got away with nearly a grand while I was at the courner shop... I think home owners should have the power to do what they want with these scumbags... sometimes the law of the land stinks.

[@Anthony_15]

That Scottish burglar video before the intro is a classic

[@serenityinside1]

Proper law enforcement 👍

[@manusk40]

I'm an Asda delivery man and I am very surprised how many people just automatically trust you and just leave their front door open around you.

[@lloydmarriott756]

Yes but this situation is different as they got info on you,

[@ACAIDC]

A lot of people are oblivious to the world around them. I wouldn't leave my door wide open around anyone.

[@JaeSwift]

@@lloydmarriott756 What info? And how do you know they'd notice they'd been a victim straight away? They may not notice their purse has gone for days after and its unlikely they'd suspect the Manus the asda guy lol

[@Jo3sX]

4:44 I don’t think I could handle the stress of living in a luxury house with a nice car and expensive watches. Sounds like more stress than it’s worth.

[@LightbarsUK]

Also having a gravel drive way is a good deterrent, anyone ever walked silently on gravel?

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

You're not wrong! Our place can't have gravel paths, but three dogs who bloody go nuts if someone sneezes walking buy is a secondary option!

[@chris-ryan]

One other tip to mention when you go on holidays, is don't post pics on social media until you are back, it is an easy advertisement to let people know you are away from home and your house is likely ripe for the picking.

[@bobsuruncle435]

Loving the content! Was just having a binge since i found the channel but keep up the good work. Truly fascinating the stories you have!!

[@nedyahyakcam]

Advice from south Africa, make your house harder to break into than your neighbours, and make your neighbour look richer than you.

[@immyandrobbo]

I was a burglar when I was addicted to crack and heroin. I hated it , I knew I was doing wrong but when u are withdrawing from heroin that comes first. I'm 10 years clean now and I've payed my dues in jail. .I pray I never relapse again

[@worldwidefreeride92]

Cheers for the fix Ben! Been waiting for another upload after the binge! Stay safe brother.

[@shanehardy2862]

Lovin the videos, especially the fact some of the bloopers are left in is a good idea

[@Plentisaki]

Another tip, never have your home address keyed into your Sat Nav. If your car is nicked its easy to find where you live that way. Make your local Nick your 'Home Address' . That way at the very least your car will appear on their CCTV and with luck the faces of the bastards in the car.

[@babyjane87]

This sounds wild to me because the area I live in the uk we could leave the door wide open all night and nothing would happen 🤷🏻‍♀️ I leave my doors unlocked when I go on the school run or to the local shop I always have 🥴

[@N.i.g.h.t.m.a.r.e.z]

I've got pepper spray & metal baseball bat waiting for any robber attempting to Rob me

[@angelamuircroft5181]

Great video, thanks Ben.

[@maxcullen3427]

Respect all ur videos Ben love work ur doing for mental health awareness

[@IItzCraniax]

AWESOME VIDEO! keep it up!

[@heathcox1286]

My son recently just joined the police force. He said he watches your channel all the time. I’m hoping he contacts me and says hi cause I’m miss him. Maybe he spends too much time watching your channel

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

I honestly think that home security has to be overlapping so that bases are covered from both opportunistic theft and more sophisticated attack. In our case, we went with 3 star anti snap locks, sash jammers on doors and windows, security handles, laminated security glass, secure by design window and door sets, police monitored alarm with dual path signalling and power back up.....plus everything is locked and secure if we are in or if we are out. There is bugger all else we can do, and having been burgled before for our cars (yep, one was a bloody Golf R, aint doing that again!), I don't really like leaving gaps in security if I can avoid it.

[@Srevelation]

I had a classic mini stolen with a stop lock fitted so they don't always work

[@SpareSomeChange8080]

I would love to know your thoughts on police bosses and the top brass publicly saying that they won't turn up to burglaries any more. What's going on there?

[@TheManLab7]

Common sense then. It is a shame that common sense SEEMS to have disappeared for a select group of people. But obviously I'm not going to say the job's, age's, hobbies, etc.

[@natrjack965]

Casio nowt wrong with them I have a few G shocks well more than a few and the last video you did ben I think I seen a TAG on your wrist... Great video Ben .....

[@serenityinside1]

Safe to say what we wanted was footage like at the start of the vid - sadly didn’t get. ☹️

[@andysmales69]

Thank you.

[@georgef822]

Basically, do all you can to secure your possessions because if you were to get burgled or mugged for them the police won't do anything and its extremely likely you'll see them again.

[@TheWeepingDalek]

what exactly can they do? you are aware of this little thing called innocence until proven guilty. burglars rarely have their faces on show and rarely leave fingerprints. so there is rarely enough evidence. when crimes like rape and murder often have very low conviction rates. burglary will never stand a chance. the only way the police could stop them is if they catch them in the act.

[@kolobok2712]

That's why it should be okay to apply lethal force to anyone who tries to break into your private property.

[@TheWeepingDalek]

@@kolobok2712 hell no. Most burglars aren't a threat to your safety. And genuinely don't want to cause the Occupants any harm. They just want stuff. And stuff doesn't justify taking life. You should only be allowed to use deadly force if your own life is at risk.

[@louisbryant2302]

I cant remeber where i saw this, but there is a statistic that the majority of burguleries happen during the day. If there is noise no one will suspect anything at 1pm, however people will be suspicious past 9pm.

[@markgr1nyer]

Well done Ben. Made it 9 minutes lol

[@matthewwalker5430]

You forgot to mention hamburglars...

[@hershey6171]

this guy deffo wouldnt like me lmaooo

[@swheelman7231]

Good advice

[@danpaul4975]

Sorry Ben, I absolutely love your content and I'm a long time subscriber, but.... "Do not feel scared, just let them have what they want"... You can't tell someone not to feel scared. Intruders don't just "take" anymore, they use violence and they can AND DO kill. PROTECT YOUR HOME AND YOUR CASTLE. If an Intruder gets in your life IS at risk and the police WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL ITS TOO LATE.

[@marklobban3949]

I feel bad undermiming you here Ben but in reference to the stop lock I was told to avoid the one you suggested and went for a disc lock police approved. Paid £130 from halfords for both steering lock and a Faraday bag to put my key fob in to stop people scanning my key fob

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

Pains me to say this but when my sisters 595 was pinched, they left the disklock (which was on) on the drive as they sped off. The stoplock needs cutting off, the disklock needs to be forced off. 99% of the time, they don't bother or they can't do it, but it's something to keep in mind.

[@JGC890]

the law around burglars in the UK is ridiculous, we had some baghead trying to kick our door in at 3am a few weeks back, i have two young kids in the house, my plan was to wait for them to get in then kick the living shit out of them, fortunately they didnt get in, could get past 2 deadbolts

[@catcaptain6023]

I'd love to watch you attempt entry into a house / car / etc.

[@FlyingSpaghettiMonster2000]

I live in a bungalow...

Good fior you - that’s great. So did I once !

[@TangoCR97]

or just go to a safe apartment building!

[@danielmarshall4587]

"Burglars"..... their misunderstood.

[@100CupsColombia]

What about a very large belligerant dog???

[@theaikidoka]

Great, then you and everyone around you has to deal with it. It 'might' solve one problem, but you'd have loads more.

[@tomsdaddy]

Hi Ben, something I've been wondering for a while, - are Electric Vehicles harder to steal than internal combustion ? And are keyless entry Electric Vehicles harder still ? (Admittedly, if anyone stole my old Nissan Leaf, any 'Pursuit' would consist of a 'Brief, Gentle jog' ... ! LOL ! )

[@26TM079]

would not surprise me if EVs were easier "There's an App for that" 🤣. horrible things EV's are

[@tomsdaddy]

@@26TM079 No. EV's are better than Petrol or Diesel, every time you 'Breathe In'.

[@26TM079]

@Nick C. how does some one I'm.a terrace house or block of flats charge a EV ?

[@becky2235]

Not all people who struggle with addiction are thieves. I've been broken into and robbed so I know how tramuatic it is ( I'm 5'4 9 stone woman and I heard the noise and seen him I was attacked the rings on my fingers taken and my mobile the police caught him and he had prison he got in through the living room bay windows I felt so unsafe there I moved out) but to shame people with addiction doesn't help.

[@rugward]

Being a mental health advocate also means thinking about the mental health of the criminals. Don't get me wrong obviously burglary is wrong, but people stealing for drugs are usually suffering form severe mental health issues and addiction. Obviously they still need to be reprimanded for what they have done, but calling them 'scum' etc... is the wrong way to think about dealing with the problem.

[@serenityinside1]

Thus IS a joke right ?!! Wrong channel you’ve picked for ‘ sympathetic hugs for the perp ‘ mate. Taking your dead wife’s wedding ring , your laptop with your business stuff/ university work / pictures tragically dead child on ? Beating them calf to death and allowing them to live with permanent injuries is the only sympathy I and others here will show ffs.

[@rugward]

@@serenityinside1 You clearly didn't read my comment properly and I don't endorse 'sympathetic hugs for the perp'. They absolutely deserve to be punished, but small time thieves with mental health issues also deserve to be treated like humans. Not 'beaten half to death with permanent injuries'. Which by the way is an awful thing to say and if you truly believe that, it makes you just as bad the burglars we are talking about.

[@becca8225]

House burglars are scum! There's got to be some things you just don't do, creeping around someone else's home & stealing their belongings is one of them. I've had mental health issues all my life (& drug & alcohol addiction) but i never lowered myself to house burglaries. I wouldn't even associate with house burglars. I suppose you excuse muggers who have mental & addiction issues too? Send them all to jail, i found it the best place to get clean/get myself together.

[@Spamfish]

100% agree. Not trying to diminish Ben's trauma. But the way he constantly calls EVERY criminal a 'shit bag' in EVERY video and in some videos actually LAUGHS at people suffering with their own traumas. One who broke the legs trying to kill themself. Ben found it hilarious cause his boss made him jump. The contempt he has for the public as someone in authority is actually shocking.

[@rugward]

@@becca8225 I've struggled with the same issues all my life too and also have never stooped to stealing. I'm not saying to excuse them, I'm saying that some criminals should be given the opportunity for rehabilitation without being labelled scum for the rest of their lives.

or just connect the door handles to the mains electric ............. just saying lol
