last year when I was in Karachi, my aunt and cousin were visiting me and they got robbed just outside the gate as they were about to ring the intercom. Two guys on motorbikes came behind them and took their gold bangles, mobiles and cash on gun point.. Considering we live in one of the poshest areas in Karachi (Defense phase 5)..  My cousin was robbed at the signal, they showed her a gun and took her IPhone.. Another relative of mine lost his car to some guys and then later police found the car at some deserted place.. Nearly all my relatives and family back home have been robbed at least once in their lifetime.. Things are really bad out there.. God help us..
