Notice how none of the chairs, tables, fans, nor umbrellas are bolted down nor chained together in any way. In NYC, these pieces of furniture would have been stolen overnight.

Thanks for the post. I lived in the UAE for 1.5 years – and while there was much there that I saw and disagreed with, there was no arguing with observations like this post. I can remember accidentally leaving a large box of important files on top of my car outside a visit to a client's office. Two hours later, it was still there. That said, although crime is almost non-existent in the UAE, those that do break the law are subject to a legal system that is far from transparent or fair. Thanks for the post! Happy holidays…
True this does not happen evreywhere around the world.

I always think the same when I walk along the Creek and see all the dhow cargo left lying around – a lot of it valuable stuff too.
In Australia it would disappear within minutes!
