sorry makes me giggle! Doha isnt virtually crime free its just not reported! we got broken into in our second week living out here, they stole just cash thankfully! And we have huge security walls around our villa with a locked garage and gate! Shocking really!!! We dont have a maid personally i have heard too many horror stories about things being stolen! But on the other side i see dudes leave there brand new porsches running with the keys in the ignition while they run in the shop! you certainly wouldnt do that back home it would get nicked!
