What did you do after this happened to you to feel less nervous , safe this happened to a friend who lives alone out in the country & has not been back to where it happened in a month .

#1 lock the door, may seem funny but country folk still don’t.  
2. Get an alarm  
3. A big dog and a baseball bat, make sure to have a ball.  
4. Security cameras

decided to just plain old walk in my front door, and didn't at first back away when I approached it, I took him down and held him till the police came. Bastard pissed his pants while I held him down. I did have unarmed combat training while in the military, so that helped. After that I kept my doors locked even if I was home. Hasn't happened since.

It’s not hard to get and utube now to use it.

your friends home got broke and entered and she/he was assaulted?

yes

Maks sure your friend gets proper treatment. This sort of incident can really take a toll on a persons wellbeing, even if they think or claim that they are fine.

Several years ago someone walked into the house while everyone was asleep. He stole a bunch of stuff, but the scary part is that he was right outside my daughter's bedroom at one point.  
 
We had an alarm installed after that, but it didn't really help us feel better. We felt more comfortable once we got a dog. Oh... and he's just under 100lbs, so he can be kind of intimidating to those who don't know him.

Lock the doors , get a small loud dog. They are more apt to be nervous and bark at intruders , i wil leave this here be prepared to defend yourself if necessary.
