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 :)
