Wallet Stolen In Carrefour today

Be careful next time...Carrefour should install more cameras on their premises...

.grrrrrrr, burning with anger.....
.

most likely in the shopping trolley where anyone can snatch it specially with carrefour being busy in Ramadan..they can literally pick it and stuff it in one of their over sized purses they trot around with!! who will know..NO ONE..that's why we all have 2 be aware of our surroundings

Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought him back.

I recently read in Gulf Times or The Peninsula - online, that in Lu-Lu Hypermarket it happened the same: one lady at shopping there realized the missing of her money from the purse hanged on trolley...Security searched the video registration and they saw there is a woman with her daughter, totally black dressed, in action...So,I am sorry for your bad day, be careful and do not leave your bag unsupervised hanged on or in the trolley anymore...I had also bad experiences and I learned to wear a "mail-man" type bag while shopping in my country ;-)...

Think i'm having a Dejavu, I had a dream last night that my wallet and car were stolen. But i found my wallet without the money.
Sorry for your loss, but you need to be much more careful with your belongings.
These people need to be reported to the concerned authorities if you have a whiff of suspicion.

I had a similar thing happen to me..Some months back at "New world Center" The sad thing was that I never put my bag down except in the prayer room when I was praying! Now that was BAD!To think that there are such unscrupulous individuals who would steal in a prayer room of all places!It just made me so disgusted.. But Alhamdullilah I'm now extremely careful at all times..Sometimes we just have to learn the hard way!

Sorry to hear that, Maam!

For everyone's information, a similar thing happened to us in my previous company/office about 2 years ago also during Ramadan season. The suspects are also (not just 2) 3 ladies in abaya/black clothing. Similar thing of distraction and not speaking/understanding English.

The only thing is, they were not able to steal our wallets and/or any money in the office. My wallet almost fell out of my back pocket (you have an idea how!).

I dropped today by Dasman, and while shopping, come across the cart with the lady’s purse, that has been left alone completely… I looked around, it was very quite in there, almost nobody… and finally I noticed a couple somewhere around the corner in like 10 m distance from the cart… well, i suggested them not leave the purse like that.. the woman seemed to be surprised why I am giving this kind of suggestions...
By the way it was weird trip to Dasman… I spent there only 20 minutes, and 3 little accidents happened during this time..I told you about the first one..
The second one…as I mentioned, the store was almost empty.. so I walked into one of the sections, with all these dishes and glasses, and noticed that one guy was following me… he passed by and said: Hi.. First I thought, it might be somebody from the QLSG that I just didn’t remember.. so I automatically said: hi… he stopped beside me and asked what was my name… so asked him, if I know him… and here he started, looking straight into my eyes: "We are friends! We are good friends! I want to take a good care of you".. and such…I got shocked for the second… then I looked around, it was nobody at this section, and guy was getting closer and closer… so I turned and walked away pretty fast…
And at the end, when I was at the cashier, some man was in front of me. He looked like a decent man in his late 40s.. could be an engineer or so…in Dasman, for each 50 QR spent they give 1 coupon (have no idea what is that for, never pay attention on such things).. so after this man has paid, he got a certain number of coupons for the amount he has spent... He didn’t want to move. He was staying beside the cashier for about 5-6 minutes, looking into his Invoice and calculating something. Eventually he asked the cashier, why she didn’t give him one more coupon for the last 45 QR. The girl answered, it’s because she only gives coupons for each 50 QR. He started arguing, got angry... She said that she is not allowed to give coupon for less than 50QR. Meanwhile I made my payment for my stuff and got 3 coupons (yeah, by the way, I dropped by Dasman only to buy a coffee, and end up with 160 QR groceries..LOL).. so I got these 3 coupons, when the man was still insisting on this one extra coupon, and didn’t want to move, blocking the exit for me… so I simply asked him if he want all my 3 coupons, just please let me get out of here.. I thought he will realize that I am kind of making fun of him.. but nooo.. he grabbed all these 3 coupons, keeping thanking me... but at least finally he moved and let me out…so I am wondering what were these coupons about and what did I give away.. LOL…
What a weird people I met today in Dasman…

would like to know why u didn't complain for security coz we have civil security they roaming around and we use to do that to protect our client there and even we have female security she take care about other ladies.
about the coupon when u buy for 50 QR u will get coupon to win one of our 16 hummer or Cadillac cars coz we have one winner every week.
and what happen to you will happen every where in the world not only in dasman,
those people we cant stop them if no one complain about them and when u reach to cash counter at least u have to inform the security guard front of the exit door and u will see what will happen.
hope will not happen to u any more but please if that happen we requset u to let us to know about it,and u will see what going to happen to him
take care always where ever u will be
GOD BLESS all of us/

i need to be more carefull next time leaving my bag hangin in the trolley

Everybody is right everybody is wrong, it depend where you stand

people in Doha usually don't mind their belongings very carefully because we're not used to this sort of thing happening! in other cities i'm even afraid to carry a mobile but in Doha i can openly hold it wherever i go...

seems we all need to be a little more vigilant about our bags these days. and don't carry something important if you don't need it with you that day.

at least they didn't steal the passport.

well..you should be aware next time. To be extra careful and vigilant of your belongings.

Welcome to the new Qatar, welcome to the new riff raff that has joined the people in this country. I remember when I came here 5-6 years back it was really safe and you could even leave your car unlocked with mobile, cash and laptop in there. Now I can see qatar following the Jones's, Guns on the streets, car theft, mobile theft, purses being stolen.
Welcome to the new world order.

are to be blamed. While shopping especially in groceries, I saw several women placing their bags on the push cart. This invites the 'snatchers' or 'pickpocketeers'. Well, I saw not only bags or wallets some of these women left of their cart but also babies or little kids which if off balance,then fall!

this is terrible and i thought that this is one of the safest place on earth~guess i was wrong

/-a-t-/Kaiiria wow you don't seem to be very intelligent. Look at the stats, Qatar still IS one of the safest in the world. The amount of crime here isn't as high, and it's for THAT fact that it's low that people get concerned with a PURSE snatch.

Thank God you're not getting sexually assualted in Japan, robbed at Knife Point in the US, or worse, getting killed in England.

/-a-t-/labda, look at stats. simple as that.

Qatar IS one of the safest in the world.

/-a-t-/alexa, safety and poverty are too different subjects. The only link is that poverty can link to crime.

I feel like leaving a full purse of anthrax......when they get it home that'll teach em!

ok, when women walk around in revealing clothes especially in this country they ask for trouble! these are the people that moan when they get stared at!.......

timtan, obviously you don't get out much to see enough revealing clothing...do you live in Saudi? I see alot of women in 'reveling cloths'as you put it......so keep up with the thread then lad you were the one that deviated....not me!!

timtan, ok, maybe you don't see them as revealing but to many in this culture it is ie hotpants to carrefour during Ramadan.??????.....please don't assume that I have been anywhere near a medicine cabinet ;)

timtan - I don't often agree with Supernurse, but I have to say that nearly every time I go to a shopping mall I see women wearing what would be considered revealing clothing in Qatar. Spaghetti straps, skirts above the knee, low cut tops, even hot pants on one occasion.

lol labad you need to chill, it was a simple question, don't read too deep here.

Qatar is still one of the safest countries in the world. Good thing is she just had her wallet stolen. If this was LA, you bet your life, she woulda been shot too- if not murdered. So take a chill pill woman.

I believe Qatar is one of the safest countries on planet. In the US teachers "in some states" are carrying guns to protect themselves from students!!! jreggiehall, sorry for your loss, next time be more careful

To Supernurse: I NEVER wear revealing clothes and have been stared at many times. Even had a picture taken of me while taking a walk on the corniche. And there was no way I was wearing anything revealing.

I think Qatar is pretty safe, especially when I compare it to South Africa. I don't believe the official statistics from this country, though. I think there's a lot more crime that happens that doesn't get reported. But then I'm careful not to put myself in situations that those crimes could happen to me.

Whatever you say amnesia. Good read though.

... never put temptation in anyone's way.

In other words, keep your bloomin' money out of sight and in a safe place NOT in full view hanging from your shopping trolley, or whatever.

Even a virtuous person who's never stolen a penny in their life! could be tempted in those circumstances, let alone a trained gang of pick-pockets.

I lady wearing an abaya did the deed..

I wonder how they can narrow that to a lead.. csi

janeyjaney, even a guy could wear the abaya ;)
Who would know?!

Hmm, intersting thread... but as someone stated if you were in Europe, the US or Canada your hand bag wouldnt last a New York minute in a shopping trolley. Heck, you could get knifed in broad day light for your bag in some places.

Qatar is one of the safest countries, I very seldomly have fear of anything here as I do back home. If someone in Canada picked up my kid and kissed him on the cheek and commented on how cute he was I would report him to the police. Here is is common. We have a lot more freedom here than most if us would in our home countries (unless you were brought up in the stix).

Leaving your valuables unattended is asking for trouble. As also mentioned in previous threads the poverty level here has gone up astronomically. Some people steal just to eat, perhaps it is convenient to steal in the same place you can buy food :)

labda06. I wasn't talking to you back there. I was to the lady that had her wallet stolen.

oh ok playa07, sorry bout that :)

This Indian lady (msanonymous) is tryna bash Qatar's security up in here. I wonder how things are in Bombay....hmmm. Aint no need to comment on that, is there.

well according to my opinion qatar was safe but not now. As i was going through this thread 1 of our collegue said it happens every where the crime scence, to ur acknowledge i m resident of qatar for a long time ( as i born here) i never saw these types of things before may be because there was balance in the life as money and needs.
but now its no more. We can see that life of qatar is becoming very much expensive. A normal person can not fulfill all his/her needs in small amount of money.
As we go around, the rents, daily use items, grocery items, food stuff everything are expensive where as the salary for the normal person is still same 2000-3000.
U r rite mate may be there will be a guy in abaya. Why don't we think that if the same situation will remain then that day is not far that this qatar will be in a hit list.

Before there was nothing to be stole as ppl were happy wht they were getting bcoz the lifestyle was not that much expensive as today.

if we take this thing economically then as there is a statement that where there is rise in demand there shuld be rise in supply. Now-a-days there is demand of high rents, high prices of ur needs but no supply of good salary so buddies wht u think will qatar will be safe in futur.. MY ANSWER IS NO
