A well-heeled British couple of Pakistani origin were returning to their home after a night out when they were confronted with a terrifying situation. It was past midnight and the husband and wife had been out on the town in London, having had dinner at a fancy restaurant. It was the womanâs birthday and she was wearing expensive designer jewellery, valued at more than US $ 500,000/. They returned to their well-guarded and secure Hampstead home (surveillance cameras, automatic gates etc) in good cheer. As soon as they entered their home, they were assailed by two masked burglars who demanded that they hand over all their valuables. The burglars spoke the local London idiomatic English. One burglar grabbed the woman of the house by the neck and her husband fell on his knees and begged them to let her go given the state of her health. The burglars took all the womanâs jewellery off her, including the smallest ring. They then asked to be led to the safe box. As they went from one room to the next, the burglars saw Islamic calligraphy adorning the walls of the plush home. One burglar asked the woman which country of origin she came from. She said, âPakistanâ. The burglar stopped in his tracks. He told his partner to return the womanâs jewellery, âall of itâ and made sure that every little trinket was given back to her. He even searched his partnerâs pockets to make sure that he wasnât keeping anything back. The two burglars then swiftly left the house, having taken nothing from the couplesâ possession. Conscientious burglars?
