Walahi this happened to my dude few years ago. We were in Hargeisa together. That day it was an Eid day. We stopped at this commotion. We were watching the spectacle. My dude had a brand new iPhone he brought with him from Canada. As I was standing there and watching the activities in the middle of a sea of people this dude screamed “MY PHONE! MY PHONE IS GONE!” . He ran around like a headless chicken. He was grabbing random folks. I had to get him back to his sanity.
Long story short. His phone was long gone
If you ever go back home. Do not stand amidst a sea of people. There are opportunistic thieves amongst the people.
Make sure you valuables are very secured.
When back home my guards are up. I have this thief mentality. I don’t give them a chance.
