"Hollywood Style Crime!"

"Hollywood Style Crime 1st time in Dubai,UAE!" as they called on www.netscape.com. personally, to us, Dubai was perhaps the safest country to live in, until an event ocurred and shook the residents and even the authorities of such a peace and civilized country! At 9:30 pm when the mall was still in its working time, full with shoppers and tourists, two cars drove into the entrance and into the "Graff", the jewelery shop's, display and stole all the jewelery that was displayed at the time. There losses are not estimated yet, however, such an incident can not be tolerated and have to be stopped at any costs. Through out years, Dubai was growing at an unbelievable rate, and hitting new records that not many countries did, especially in the area. Such an event has turned the heads of the authorities to places and parts they never thought that Dubai would face, CRIMES! To be honest, we hardly see any crimes in Dubai, and perhaps this was a motive for those criminals to go ahead with their operation and do such a daring job in a country packed with security and peace. Instead of hiding such an incident, we should publicize it as much as we can and let people know about it as much as possible, because this is how we help the authorities to fight crime, and this is how we create a safe environment for our children and families. Hiding such an event maybe would let the "image" of Dubai preserved and look nice, but it would also be lying to ourselves, and covering our own problems with more problems, journalists are obliged to be honest and accurate when it comes to events and news like this. This is why I am publicizing my message, because personally I want to fight crime in Dubai, because this is how I keep the good image of this country.
