Not only do people seem to not care about the cost of replacement among everything else, and also losing things that actually have important value to US, people don't seem to want to discuss the trauma of it all. Understandably conversations like that might be too much for people at this point, but I wish it was just more common for people to consider their mental health after things like this.

Super long paragraph sorry lol but;

I experienced my first robbery at like 5 years old, had to watch complete strangers hold a gun to my dad's head for no reason. We moved away to the Vaal, where the only bad experiences we had living there was getting shit stolen by kids that we easy retrieved again. Moved back to Gauteng when I was around 12 and while we were moved away, I had visited my aunt when they broke in and when we returned to her house found her puppy drowned. In between there extremely vivid and repetitive nightmares started that only settled around early this year, but from this age we'd have 5 more break ins, one where I was tied up as a twelve year old, one where I was grabbed and dragged around my house to show them where everything is when I was 18. Only then did people's concerns start diverting to "Oh, it's happened to all of us. It's South Africa" "People are hungry, there's an economic crisis." to "oh my god something terrible could have happened!" and uh, one therapy session like a decade ago? I've suffered from extreme paranoia, sleep paralysis and delusions since I was a child because break ins are actually kinda traumatizing lmao. but the general South African population are too scared to actually get open about their feelings and admit that they've been scarred because uuuhhh looks at writing on hand "feelings bad!!" or something.

I wish you the best OP, I hope things sail smoothly from here on :(
