Qatar need change.
Hi ! As posted yesterday I returned back to Qatar after a month's long holiday and after immigration check and approval went to the baggage screening section where I forgot my small passport holding bag which contains passports, currency, and few cards (debit & Credit).
After reaching house I realized that I had lost that bag so I immediately rushed to the Airport where they informed me to come next morning so again I went next morning to the lost and found section, when I enquired about my bag they asked me what it contains I informed them Passport and money then they informed me that if they found any bag which contains valuable then they hand it over to captains office at departure terminal so I must go there so I went their.
After reaching Captains office He informed me to wait for half hour as he policeman was not their or come in the afternoon so I went to the office and came back in the evening and the policeman asked what the bag contains again I informed them passport, so He said in that case I need to go to the arrival immigration not now but next morning so all these 4 days I have been shuttling between arrival, departure and immigration sections and the worst part is no one knows where I must go and the way they treat me as if I had done something wrong. In fact they have all the surveillance system so if required they can trace where the bag is but their attitude is the worst. finally yesterday I had talked to the captain and requested if it is possible to check thru recordings but the captain was so annoyed because I was disturbing His tea / cawa party in His office with His mates and He said it is my mistake that I had lost the bag and in case I have any problem with it then I must go to the Police and not to Him.
I felt very bad because His Highness and few good people in this country are trying to take Qatar's name to every corner of the world but when people will come from different part of the world and see this kind of behavior then what impression they are going to carry with them?
It is a time when the ambassadors of the country who are the people working with the government organizations which caters directly to the visitors and expatriates must remember that they are forming image of their country by their behavior understand their duty towards their country and act accordingly.
I had the same problem, but with something less valuable, my laptop.
eh....congrats :)
cheers
well done mate, glad you got it resolved
Hi Ravan 1968!
It is still rocket science for Qatari police, they just gave me a certificate confirming my lost passport so that I can get new from Embassy.
This is just for your information.
It was Jet Airways but I lost it after immigration check was done.
Thanks a lot for your kind words
u will loose nothing nshalla :)

Thanks a lot for kind words
not yet
darn,that really sucks!hope you find your belongings the soonest!
@OP - have u found ur belongings??
Illiteracy and poor taste aside, numb_ddr is right about the racism and double standards, but then I cannot imagine any country letting your search through security tapes. Hopefully, kanadev can obtain a new passport without too much hassle.
Victoria5518--I like the Katy Perry avatar pic. My niece had me listen to her music over the holidays.
New passport will not be a problem IF the guy gets a police report which he hasn't done even after 2 days....
Also since you are Indian, it is CLEARLY mentioned in the passport that if you lose the passport then you MUST report it to the nearest Indian embassy IMMEDIATELY so do that first.
NOBODY will let you go through their surveillance tapes just like that in Qatar or anywhere else.
Have you had an indication from who you have spoken to that they might have found the bag?
Guys go easy on Kanadev, I am sure he was being careful, but these things happen - anyway, who says that it wasn't stolen?
I know this isn't Joburg Internation, but things have been known to go missing within seconds of your attention being diverted....
Flanostu, WK - LOL , u deserve that hang over for taking too much VB
why do some people always blame HR for their misfortune...
Lol
if we were drinking it a few nights ago you'd still be cursing me now.
numb_ddr... you are hysterical..... oh god, cannot stop laughing....
Has a white c*ck sucker rejected your romantic advances?
Never had it but saw endless adverts of it when they used to sponsor the test series down under..
WK, that stuff gives me a hangover from hell.
Victoria is bitter..
Here's proof :(
ok ok, at least one HR joke then.
i've always wanted to ask HR is "laziness" considered a long or short-term disability in qatar?
wow...victoria bashing night sponsored by flanostu hahaha
ur welcome mate! =P
cheers
rOfL
ok forgiven victoria, i'll save my HR jokes for another time :)
flanostu , i am talking about individuality ... to be an idiot dont choose nationality
sometimes its fun talking to idiots...
Kanadev,as much as i would agree with you that the attitude of local law enforcement is FAR from the vision His Highness has for Qatar,it is your sole responsibility to make sure something as valuable as your passport & credit cards are with you @ all times...file a case with the police reporting your stuff stolen,good luck...
victoria????? but every nationality has pockets of idiots.
@numb_ddr - though is a bit true, is not good the way u say it....whats the point of getting bitter, relax!
the way people look at you always depends on how u carry urself...not always about nationality
I've come across rotting bodies less offensive than you are.
i'm guessing numb_ddr is either dyslexic (should be dumb_nnr) or just has a chip on her shoulder (in which case it would already be eaten).
1. It is your mistake
2. How can they let a random person come and go through the surveillance tape????
Lodge a complaint with the police and they will help.
Yes Qatar definitely need change. Lot's of change. every time in Carrefour supermarket, checkout chick give me candy because she no have 50 dirhams change.
if you were an American or fuc-king British or racist Australian they would su-ck you white di-ck and give your sh-it back without asking any kind of fuc-ked up question.
hope i offended all you white trashes. any white madafu-cka come hit me up if you've got balls, imma fu-ck you up ugly.
sure sure - u will not loose it - finally u will gett it back -
Come for the heat..stay for the racism =D
too bad u miss ur important things...they will help you, Inshalla
this isn't rocket science Qatar, locate the mans bag for fecks sake!!!
