The same as You or I would feel if it happened to us. It happened to a relative, so I do know what it's like. It depends on the person how one reacts. One could look at it and realise that it is only possessions, but then his privacy and safety has been compromised too. Hopefully he tagged everything. I wonder how much effort the Police will put into recovering his goods..? If it is as much as they do for everyday people, it's the last he'll see of them.
I was under the impression that the club provided security for players houses during games because it is a well known fact that Premier League footballers are targeted for this type of robbery.
I had my house burgled about 5 years ago and it is a horrible feeling. I was so angry for ages afterwards. The burglar was eventually caught a month or so later in the process of doing another house and asked for over 90 similar offences, including my house, to be taken into consideration. Apparently he had lost his job but hadn't dared tell his wife, so turned to crime. Imagine her shock! I almost, but not quite, felt sorry for the guy.
I have been burgled three times and it is the most horrible feeling in the world. The first time they took all of our valuable family heirlooms which really upset us. The second and third times it was money and electronics which I didn't care about. The worst part is that on the last two occasions we were burgled at night when we were in bed asleep. I now do not sleep well at night and am disturbed by the slightest noise. I also find myself looking out the window to see who is about in the middle of the night. As a consequence I have lost all sense of safety in my home and detest burglars for how they damage lives more than for what they steal. My house is now like Fort Knox.
A friend was burgled and although the police got everything back before she even knew about it, she had to move. She said that she couldn't carry on living there. The greatest damage is to your confidence.
Let this be a warning to us all, the scum bags are out in force this time of year, and we just represent an opportunity to them.
On a lighter note, I was burgled on one occasion and I didn't even notice for a while. Nothing appeared to be touched but a broken kitchen window suggested otherwise. Eventually, I discovered that they had taken a bottle of Southern Comfort and an old boy scout sheaf knife. It turned out to be kids and, amazingly, they were caught. The funny side though is that when the police first came, they said, "Oh, you've been really badly turned over here haven't you, Sir". To which I could only honestly reply, "Well, no, actually officer, this is how I live"! I've tried to keep things a bit tidier since then.
Jesus if I was going to house break a Saints player Wanyama would be my last port of call, with my personal safety in mind!
My sympathies to anyone who has been burgled. It cannot have been a pleasant experience at all. There is plenty of advice on making one's property more secure to deter the amateur such as alarms, double glazing, etc but I expect this was the work of a profesional gang in Wanyama's case so this kind of security would not have worked here. Many years ago I heard a reformed burglar on radio say that a goose was the best deterent as they don't shut up ,whereas even the most "ficious" dog can be befriended and be putty in the hands of the hardened burglar.

Ron wants to show a phot of Yaya to Vic just before the game and say it's a police photo-fit of a suspect for the house break-in
