When it comes to gold, whether buying or selling, don’t brag or brag. Be careful, pride can be a source of suffering and cause consequences for yourself and your family, even if the security situation seems to have improved a bit for a while.
It is true that the activities of theft and robbery have been quiet for a while. However, do not be careless because there may be people who are stuck or waiting for a good opportunity to act. So if you have wealth, especially gold, money, and smart phones, don’t brag and don’t show it off too much. Be careful, it will bring hardship to you.
When we show it off more, the more we expose the corrupt and opportunistic, just waiting for the opportunity to act. Please don’t use the current calm situation as an excuse to say that our security situation is good and safe. Of course, to maintain social order and strengthen security, the police force has been continuously strengthened, but let’s not forget that no matter how capable the police are, they cannot help protect us if we are not careful ourselves.
In fact, while the situation was calm, there were reports of two gold robberies, both in the middle of the day and in the center of Battambang city, with the suspects using only a knife. The incident injured at least two people and initial reports indicate that more than 50 taels of gold and some cash were lost.
This unfortunate incident is just a reminder to gold traders, citizens who are buying and selling gold, and those who own gold or valuable jewelry to be careful.
In addition to the problem of robbery, you may be at risk of theft, bullying, and other threats because gold is currently very expensive. Even having just one or two gold pieces on your wrists and feet can be risky. If you have gold, even if it is a small amount, it means that you are carrying hundreds of dollars with you. Gold now costs an average of about $600 per gram, if it is worth one gram, it is worth 6,000, and if it is worth two grams, it is worth 12,000.
Please remember that the authorities cannot guarantee our security 100 percent. The only thing that can guarantee it is ourselves. If we have an incident that occurs in front of the police patrol, we can get timely intervention. But if we don’t touch it, until someone reports or complains and the police come down, they can’t help because the criminals act very quickly.
At this time, when you go to buy or sell something, you must be careful for safety. If you buy something, please hide it and don’t show it too much. This exposure makes it easy for malicious actors or those with bad intentions to act.
Overall, although the current security situation seems to be calm and somewhat improved, it does not mean that there are no risks. Robbery, theft, and threats can still happen at any time, especially to those with valuable assets such as gold, money, and smartphones.
Therefore, citizens must be very careful, do not show off, do not show off too much wealth, and protect yourself first, because real security cannot rely on the authorities 100 percent. Self-care and self-precaution are the best ways to reduce risk and keep yourself and your family safe.
