AOA to all Pakwheelers!
Just sharing this as it has increased alot here in karachi (no idea of other cities)...
Around two weeks ago I was waiting in CNG line at Point CNG (those who know, between Kareemabad and IRC imambargah) and there was a family in Suzuki FX in front of my car. we all were waiting for our turns on the side of main road..those who do not know, this is one of the busiest roads of Karachi with very wide double tracks, connected to the Super highway...
suddenly a bike carrying 3 very very young and skinny lads stopped, slapped the driver, snatched all the mobiles/wallets/purses and sped away..we all went to the person, he was stunned, his wife and 2 daughters were the victims..he did not have money even for the cng fill! this took over 30 seconds and all the people waiting behind his car (including me and my wife) were seeing each and every thing but, obviously, could not do anything
these sort of incidents are increasingly taking place all over karachi...since the CNG lines are usually long, and cars are bumper to bumper with engines off, it is an ideal situation for these people to rob...usually they act in series..i.e. they come car by car and one cannot do anything but to cooperate...UNTIL we have our own pistol to shoot these *** holes immediately...
Similar incidents are common in traffic jams and signal waits..
so, be very cautious...keep the mirrors rolled up...keep a safe distance with the car ahead in case one finds a chance to run away...
Stay safe!
