u/Coolbasic posted a Public Service Announcement (PSA) regarding the increasing muggings and public looting incidents in Islamabad. Here's a quick summary of the key points:
Cash and Phone Safety: Avoid carrying large sums of cash and consider using a cheap phone (like a Nokia 360) to give to potential thieves if targeted.
Recent Incidents: Last week, a group of muggers targeted u/Coolbasic's cousin and friends in G-8 Markaz. They handed over their Nokia phones, and fortunately, the thieves left without harming them, even though they were armed.
Nighttime Precautions: Be cautious about leaving your house late at night, especially in emergency situations.
Spiritual Protection: Consider reading Ayat ul Kursi for spiritual protection before leaving your house.
The situation seems to be deteriorating, and community members are discussing their concerns and sharing their own experiences in the comments. Some are worried about Islamabad becoming like Karachi in terms of safety, while others express different perspectives on the issue.
Please remember to stay safe and look out for each other in these challenging times. Your well-being is important to us all.
