Nothing to laugh about- he must be in a shock

$8,000 USD and £2,500 plus 38 ounces of gold is too much mate.

$8' date='000 USD and £2,500 plus 38 ounces of gold is too much mate.[/quote'] The mugger might have hit a jackpot.

$8' date='000 USD and £2,500 plus 38 ounces of gold is too much mate.[/quote'] 38 ounces of gold is approximately 50,000 USD. That's for unconstructed gold. If it was necklaces etc then the labor cost added would be even higher. current price is around 1250/oz That's a lot of money

Some ridiculous comments in this thread.

Did they take Razzaq with them?

whats he doing keeping that sort of money (the gold especially) at home? Surely a safe deposit box in a bank is a better place? One thing is for sure, other cricketers in pak beware. This news is public now. Many gangs will know that cricketers have ready cash in hand and dont have the clout to hunt them down like the political/industrial class.

That's Pakistan - even Osama wasn't safe there

^ does raise a question. Just what is safe in pakistan? A swiss account probably is the only way to hold on to your money in a safe manner. In my house we have about £500 in cash and the women's jewellery (no more at max at £1000) . The rest of value which can be taken away is electronics (laptaps Televisions mobile phones watches etc) and furniture. the only thing i can suggest is he move into the top floor of an apartment complex in Pakistan where there are guards in the foyer.

Razzaq robbed of passport, valuables

Pakistan allrounder Abdul Razzaq was robbed of his passport, and large quantities of gold and cash by burglars who broke into his house early this morning, the player said. Razzaq resides in the upmarket Defense Housing Society in Lahore. According to the FIR lodged with the police, Razzaq claimed to have lost 38 ounces of gold, $12,000 and documents. He said the incident took place around 5.00 am, when the occupants of the house were asleep. "It's unfortunate," Razzaq told reporters. "I am not sure who did this but it's the responsibility of the police to find out." Police said they suspected the thieves had inside information of the details of the house. Razzaq was at home only because he had returned from Pakistan's ongoing tour of South Africa with a hamstring injury. Earlier this month, he had made a comeback to Pakistan's Twenty20 team after a gap of one year, against South Africa in the UAE. http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/693539.html

At least no one is hurt and him and his family is safe. Things will come and go but life is precious.

Would you be saying the same if someone you knew were robbed like that? It just goes to show just how many people in this world are pathetic.

[Detonator]
