Section 1.1: The Fear of Bike Theft

For the past four to five years, I have been haunted by the fear of bike theft. As someone who enjoys solo travel and riding, my motorcycle is incredibly precious to me. In Pakistan, vehicle theft is a common issue and poses a significant challenge for law enforcement. I purchased a brand new Honda 125 motorcycle on December 8, 2019, only to have it stolen by an unknown thief the very next day, right from in front of my house. This loss was devastating for my family. The police filed an FIR (First Information Report) against the unknown perpetrators, but no further action was taken to recover my bike. They even requested payment for the investigation, which left me feeling disheartened. Last year, I bought a Honda 70, but the fear of theft continues to linger due to the widespread crime.

Section 1.2: Learning from Experience

Confronting our fears is essential for leading a happy and fulfilling life. After my traumatic experience, I became increasingly vigilant about the care and security of my motorcycle. I no longer leave it unattended on the street; instead, I utilize registered parking areas with security personnel present at all times. Additionally, I employ a key lock and tire chain lock to enhance my bike's security.

It's crucial not to dwell on negative experiences but to extract valuable lessons for the future. Each of us should prioritize the safety of our belongings, vehicles, and finances. A moment of carelessness can lead to significant losses.

Experiencing fear of various kinds is quite common in today's world. We must delve into the roots of our fears and work to overcome them. By doing so, we pave the way for a happier and more prosperous existence.
