The idea of your home being broken into is terrifying, and it would be terrible to wish something like this on anyone.
Although this concept is a terrible one, it has lead to some great movies, like "Home Alone" and "Hook.
" Had Kevin in "Home Alone", had a home alarm system, we would not have the pleasure of watching him set up booby traps and harass the attempting burglars.
Although home robberies aren't entertaining in real life, they sure do make for some good stories in the movies, after all Peter Pan would have never returned to Neverland if Hook hadn't broken into his house and kidnapped his children.
If you haven't seen these movies, you must, because they are classics.

TV whenever he wants, junk food all day long, jumping on the bed whenever he wants, life can't get much better, until two burglars, Harry and Marv set their sites on the beautiful suburban house.

Kevin's hilarious inventions, along with the hilarious failures of Harry and Marv will have you rolling on the floor.
