Years back, an insurance agent told me a story about he and his wife visiting Saudi Arabia. He said that at your hotel, you could leave jewelry, money and other valuable laying around and leave the room unlocked and NOBODY would touch your valuables. He said he saw large open markets with very expensive jewelry laid out on tables in the open. No locks, glass enclosures, NOTHING. Apparently, when someone steals in Saudi, they get their non-dominant hand cut off. If they steal again, the other hand gets cut off. No prisons, no jails. Saves the Saudis BILLIONS and the theft and crime rate is the lowest in the civilized world. Oh, and they think the American justice system is about as stupid as gets.
