On the 18/09/2008 an article was published in Qatar Living Website under “Woman's Wallet Stolen at Carrefour Villagio”. I would like to point that I have witnessed yesterday the arrest of two pick pocket women in Carrefour villagio, who after confessing to a number of thefts were subsequently handed over to the police.

Hopes the police could solve several pick pocket issues... not good to see our fellow expats losing their valuable stuff...

Except in Ramandan, I guess.

Now we just have to sit and wait for the following comments:

But it's still safer than New York;

The crime rate is still lower than the ghetto;

The offenders must have been from overseas, because Qataris don't commit crimes;

etc...

Heard your wife left you,

How upset you must be.

But don't fret about it...

She moved in with me.

this incident proves that statement wrong... anyway, i still wouldn't leave my stuff lying around here even if it is safe to do so...

I THOUGHT YOU CAN LEAVE ANYTHING AROUND AND NOBODY WILL TAKE IT HERE IN DOHA.
