THIEF!!!!

Yesterday 15 minutes into a football game, we noticed a guy come sit down on the sidelines. He was not a friend or known by anyone of us playing, but we thought nothing more of it. After being there for 15 minutes he made his way out. All of a sudden one of our friends left the field running after him, before he got the chance to leave the complex into the street. Everyone was curious what was going on, all of a sudden we hear him shouting and our friend snatches his car keys out of his pocket and lays him with a couple of blows.

Now this guy has about 30 witness who actually saw our friends cars keys come out of his pocket. He even had the nerve to try and say they were his keys. He was taken to a room belonging to the administration there and slapped around a bit until the cops were to come. In the mean time, some people decided to tell our friend to let him go, “he has a kid and wife and he will probably learn his lesson”, they said. 2 of our other friends decided to become inspector gadget and sherlock holmes by taking him to his car, which was conveniently parked about 2 blocks away even though there is a huge, always empty parking lot right in front of the entrance. There they brought in the thief’s wallet which included more than 10 civil ID’s of Kuwaiti’s. He was not a Kuwaiti. He said they are his friends and he uses them to get free healthcare. He also said he took the car keys in order to take 5kd and return the keys back! Yet, his wallet was FULL of money. He was also using a nokia phone which costs no less than 150-180kd. I dont know how the idea to let him go was still being tossed around. You hear about these gangs all the time stealing things from people. The administrator there said he sees this guy 3-4 times a day watching games, so obviously he was doing it for a while and well planned. The 2 “stooge” cops arrived about 30 minutes after the incident and first thing they did was check him for bruises. They realised he had been between more than 30 people who had seen him try to steal a car. Their were no bruises but they missed the torn lip and broken glasses on his face! Also, when he was taken to his car, there was a bush nearby with a whole stack of other wallets. At the end they brought 3 seperate witnesses, took the ID’s and walked with him into the wilderness, my friend had decided not to pursue any more action. But due to the fact he had other people’s things, he will probably be charged by one of those with their missing ID’s. And you can only imagine what else he had stashed in his car. Watch your stuff.

    I hate those people with a vengeance! But el7amdillah he was caught.

    I got mugged recently and lost so many valuable items that were taken from my office right under the security guard’s noses. The donkey was caught but he never returned my items. I just wish I could sue companies here for not insuring their employees.

    This is terribile! I’m pleased for you and your friends that you caught the guy and got your stuff back. Unfortunately Kuwait is no longer the crime free place. You’ve got to watch your stuff all the time.

    I’m actually one of the few guys that keeps his wallet in his pocket when I sit at cafe’s at restaurants (its a habit from when I lived in Europe where you NEVER put your wallet on the table)

    Heema : situational awareness mo 6abee3i hehe

    Miss Good Egg : the problem is when you outsource security to a non-national, he knows that he might get into trouble by the person committing a crime even. He just wants his job nothing more, so he steers clear of trouble, even when it is his job to prevent it!

    Mix : people in kuwait love the wallet-on-the-table move, i dont know why.

    Crazy story! Unfortunately, Kuwait isn’t the place it used to be. And to add to Triple A’s comment about the non-national security guards: those poor souls are too weak to do anything, let alone stop somebody from stealing. They’re underpaid, under-trained, and practically afraid for their own livelihood. Can’t blame them to be honest.
