Joanna Lumley

A lot of us are ruled by fear during our lives - afraid we'll get burgled, afraid a dog will bite us, afraid we'll get fat, afraid someone will leave us. Once you lose fear, life becomes sweeter, and that happens as you get older. I'm sure by the time I'm 80, I'll be able to do absolutely anything!

English Actress

Dido Harding

I am a physical retailer by trade - if your shop is burgled you don't immediately think, 'Is it North Korea? Is it the Mafia?' But with cyber you don't know initially whether you're dealing with a state actor, as they call them, a small-time criminal, an insider.

British Public Servant

Daniel Mays

I've never been burgled. I don't quite know what I would do if it was the dead of night and there was someone in the house, and my kids were asleep upstairs.

English Actor

Jean Anouilh

We poison our lives with fear of burglary and shipwreck, and, ask anyone, the house is never burgled, and the ship never goes down.

French Playwright

David Morrissey

My house is very clean apart from a very small part of it that looks as if we've been burgled, which is my office.

Burgle refers to the crime of stealing from someone's property.

Criminal Act

The act of burgling involves entering a building without permission.

Unauthorized Entry

'Burgle' is specifically for stealing from buildings, not from people directly.

Not Mugging

 You can take a word and you can kind of squish it down a little bit. So for example, in English we had the word "editor" before we had the word "edit." "Edit" was formed from "editor." Sometimes these back-formations sound a little Bulldozers bulldoze, butlers butle and burglers burgle.
