Have you ever had any of your personal spaces being rummaged/searched through? How did you feel about it (emotionally)? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

aka: Burglary of your home, Car break-in, Your bedroom getting searched by someone (Parents/Roomates/Housemates/ or even Burglars), Your Backpack, Personal Electronics/Phone/Computer/etc getting searched, etc. (Including any seaches by law enforcrment / security)

Basically, anything that can be considered "personal space".

Why I ask?

Well... My parent's car has signs of being searched through last night, I think they forgot to close the windows all the way, and some random thief got in and looking for valuables, nothing of value wa taken, but stuff were all over the car, now I hate the idea of getting into that car again (someone might've slept inside the car, blegh 😖). That car feels so "tainted" now.

Like this cant be only my feeling right? Like, you just feel disgusted after someone touch your things against your will (especially if they are strangers).

About a year ago some tried to break into my flat at 2am. I was alone that night. They didn't get in because I put the chain in front of the door. The following nights I always locked the door, left the key in the lock and turned to the rightmost position, put the chain on, and moved a shelf in front of it. And whenever my roomies are gone for a couple of days, I'll lock the door. So yeah. You are not alone in this. Your feeling of safety has been challenged and that "tainted" feeling will linger for a while. I guess it's our survival instinct trying to warn us that we may not be safe. But it will get better with time.
