Wafi City Stolen!

When my sister, almost a week ago, told me that a number of thieves broke into a jewelry shop, in Wafi city, with their car, and stole the shop right in front of people's eyes then left, my first response was: I didn’t know they have other Wafi Cities out side UAE! Honestly, I think, as a person who was born and raised in Dubai, that UAE is one of the safest countries in the world. In the United Arab Emirates, it's safe to be out at 12:00 am, crimes are rare, and crimes that happen are not tragedian, even when a crime happens, it doesn’t make a huge influence, and the media maintains secrecy, not to spread fear, until the problem is dealt with effectively. I think it’s a wise way to deal with problems, it's also have proven that it keeps the situation under control. The way the police in UAE is very effective and silent is, in my opinion, professional, because once the word gets spread out, it causes more negative than positive effects. I am not saying that the audiences don’t have the right to know, because they do, but the media, most of the times, maximizes the problem, in order to pull attention, in a useless attempt to convince people that there is a problem. Well, I think in this case it was only an accident, that’s why I agree with the brief information that was given about it, but in the case where there is a problem of spreading crimes, of course, educating people about it will be essential, and if I was in charge of telling the media, I would keep it brief until the problem is solved, then publish the details.
Talking about Wafi city, it is a very luxuries and elegant shopping mall, with all the well known brands, and high standards, it occupies a large piece of land in a nice spot inside Dubai city. I think the mall safety plans are good enough for the people who are expected in such a place, and from my point of view, more safety actions could not be taken in it, what happened was totally un expected, so it's not a flow in the system, I think it's just that 'the robbers' took advantage of the shock they are going to cause, before any action is taken against them, which would give them sometime to get away, after all, there is a probably that any place could be robbed, even with high security plans.
As I see it, this is the first time such a huge attention is given to a case, since a long time in Dubai, and it’s the second time in UAE, because around a year and a half ago there was a rumor about a killer in Sharjah (Safah al Sharjah) who pulled huge attention himself and caused people's panic, and until this moment, I don't know if he really existed or not. Finally, I think it's normal to have such things every once and a while, and thank God it doesn't happen often.
