I live a stone throw from this, and always thought these weird bengali dudes roaming around discovery gardens at all hours of the day from the labour camps across the sand patch were weird. First I thought the poor fellows were just looking for extra money cleaning cars. But more and more see them dished out in their bling walking around or on there cycles.

Recently there was also an article as there were a few gangs which were doing some robberies and some kind of booze supply operation ?

Just yesterday someone nicked 10 bucls I left under the mat for the water bottle guys on my doorstep !

Discovery gardens and International city are well rough these days!

full of gangs / drugs / prossies...

Thats so annouying, poor little girl
What time did this happen? Her parents shouldn't let her go alone.

I think there should be a night-shift patrols around Discovery Gardens, Gardens, Int'l City, and also the other locals neighbourhoods.

IC and DG are the two worst of Nakheel projects. Ill-conceived, ill-planned and badly constructed. No proper in-and-out access roads, no landscaping, no proper amenities, no covered parking, poor security (if any) and too damn many budget units concentrated in one location.

Built to fail from the start, and will surely turn into slums with the passing of time.

DD, you’d better sell (if you own) and get out of there before it’s too late!!!

AGREED !!
Thats the result of being greedy!
They wanted to complete their projects so fast, yet neglected all sense of quality! Greedy & dumb!

Me own LOL ! very funny I can hardly afford to rent ! Although I do disagree the landsacping although still incomplete isn't that bad. But yeah slowly it is becoming into another Karama !!!

Security anywhere in the UAE I couldn't be arsed about. So many occasions I've left my car unlocked, windows open once I even left a big bag of stuff right in the middle of the souk as I caught a cab and left my bag on the kerb !!! next morning I realised what I had done. I rushed back to see the bag still there on the kerb in the mddle of all the hustle and bustle !

Anyways need to adpot to the changing times and surroundings.

I think they are the good old days you are referring to DD, I remember when I first came to Dubai, used to drive Land Rover Pick-up, go out shopping and leave all the stuff in the back, never missed a thing, don't think it will be so safe today.

I still believe it is mostly safe. I leave loads of stuff in open view in my car, but its such a crappy old banger I often expect to come back and find someone has broken in and left me a gift in sympathy!

Personally, I think many of the developments in Dubai are potential 'ghettoes in the sky'. It is only the security on the door that stops them being so.

I was not referring to the magnificent Thunderbird 2 (there is a YouTube video out there you would enjoy!) but rather to the aged and battered Chevvy that still manages to cough and wobble its way around Dubai! Much like it's owner, it is suffering from Anno Domini and, after many incidents and accidents, still seems to miraculously pass the medical test every year!

Ten year old going out on a scooter! World gets weirder every day...

my apologies mate

Yeah, Karama and IC are bad. Stay away, phussies. Less traffic for me.
