Islamabad Thief stole my helmet at I-8 Markaz.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

This happened on 5th September at 11:30pm, but I'm posting it now because I finally got the CCTV footage and want to see if anyone can help me identify the person.

I left my bike helmet beside the counter where customers usually leave their belongings before entering the store. It was an expensive helmet. The was a guard specifically responsible for looking after these things but somehow my helmet was still stolen. I had also left my bike keys inside the helmet. The person came into the store carrying a broken helmet, which he handed to the guard. When he was leaving, he casually picked up my helmet instead.

While he was going upstairs, he actually came back and showed the keys from my helmet to the guard, asking whether they were his keys and still took it with him knowing they weren't his. And it gets more interesting because the next morning the same person came back and returned my keys but not my helmet. Luckily I had a spare key at home.

To the person who took my helmet, please bring it back or return it to store or I will call the police on you.

I have the CCTV footage showing the theft. If anyone recognizes this person contact me on (0311-5153004). Please don't post or share anyone's private information publicly or confront the person yourself.

Islamabad Looking for someone to share good coffee, good conversation, and maybe a trail or two from Islamabad

Upvotes

Hey! I'll keep this simple — I'm looking to meet someone (women, specifically) for something low-pressure but real. Not really into small talk that goes nowhere; I'd rather sit across from someone over a coffee and actually talk — about life, weird interests, things we're figuring out, whatever comes up naturally.

A few ideas I'm into:

**•   Coffee date** — casual, no agenda, just good conversation  
**•   Movie** — followed by dissecting it over food, because the discussion after is honestly the best part  
**•   A hike** — nothing extreme, just fresh air, some quiet, and the kind of talk that happens easier when you're walking side by side instead of facing each other

I think the best connections happen when there's space to actually talk — not just swipe small talk, but the kind where an hour disappears and you didn't notice. If that sounds like your kind of time too, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me a bit about yourself and what you're looking for.

Twin Cities 18, no college/uni, how can I realistically move out and live independently?

Upvotes

I’m 18 and I really don’t want to keep living with my parents. I’m not in college or university right now, so I don’t have a student route or anything like that. I’m trying to figure out how I could realistically become financially independent and get my own place. I’m willing to work, learn a skill, do a trade, freelance, or basically whatever is realistic. For people who moved out young without going to college/uni, how did you do it? What kind of work did you start with, how much money did you need saved, and what would you recommend I do first?

I’m looking for actual practical advice, not just “stay with your parents until you’re 25”

Islamabad Good and affordable universities in Islamabad for Accounting & Finance?

Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for my younger brother, who is interested in pursuing Accounting & Finance.

We’re specifically looking for universities in Islamabad with:

• Good reputation for Accounting & Finance

• Affordable tuition fees

• Decent faculty and teaching quality

• Good career opportunities after graduation

• A recognized degree

• Reasonable admission requirements

I know universities like NUST and COMSATS are popular, but I’m mainly interested in more affordable options.

If you’re currently studying Accounting & Finance in Islamabad, or have graduated recently, I’d really appreciate your honest experience.

Which university would you recommend, and approximately how much does it cost per semester?

Islamabad This happened a while back but I still feel guilty

Upvotes

Hey guys, on the I-8 Expressway interchange I once saw a woman on a scooty e bike whatever it’s called stranded at night

She waved at me signalling me to stop and I pressed my brakes, was about to stop but then this thought raced through my mind keh what if she’s a scammer and a group of guys are hiding in the bushes so I didn’t stop and kept driving forward but I feel so guilty lol. What if she actually needed help?

I could’ve probably put her bike in my trunk and dropped her home but still the fear of being robbed overtook me, I didn’t even have my firearm with me

Was this the right decision?
