Hi Umamzah,
I know how you feel! It happened to us a couple of months ago, but in Mauritius, they came in and stole all valuables from us including computers etc.
I've moved your topic to Oman's forum for a better visibility.
At least, you (as us) were not hurt and that's the most important thing!
Keep strength.

I agree!! Thanks God no one got hurt - that is certainly what makes me feel better always.

Dear Umhamzah,

If the thief stole your mobile most definitely an easy case that Royal Oman police can handle.

Here there is a tracking system. This is how it worksÂ…. You have to give Royal Oman police the invoice of the mobile that you have purchased. 

With that mobile serial number whichever the sim (Hyak or nawaras probably the thief would have changed the sim) where ever the user is. One of my friend had the same situation and able to put the thief behind bars.

But you cannot expect instant results from ROP. For future safe set a hidden camera.

Good luck.

Dear friend,

Yours is not the only case with robbery, now the rate of crime is alarmingly increasing. What i would advise you is to keep a healthy relationship between your neighbours ( which to my opinion is not found here). Myself was pick pocketed twice and also have seen my worker being beaten brutally before being robbed. It would be better if you install a very good anti theft system at home and also it would better if you could ask some of your friend or relatives to come and stay at your house if you are leaving for a long vacation.

with prayers

am an Omani, and i am soo sad to hear about your story. and yes you are right, unfortunately the rate of robbories and crimes are increasing, however the government is doing its best to fight it back.
for your own safety, always (24/7) keep ur house locked and have security system on. moreover, nowadays there are some stranger (99% are not omani) beg for money, and they come to check ur house. so NEVER open to any strangers.
and i totally agree with Madhu, try to always have healthy relationships with ur neighbours..

all the best, and god bless you all

hey...
it is interesting topic here...
well for me..i have friends..trustfull friends here...and once i travel out of oman...i just give him my car and the keys of the house.... and i tell him feel free with eating and cooking and TV and playstation and internet...its yours...
its just one room will be opened i guess with the kitchen and the rest will be closed...
i think this is best for me and for him..

Theft is quite common in Muscat, my house has been robbed a few times in al Khuwair and the pathetic police instead of looking for the robbers they told me to keep things of value in the bank, I think the police are part of the robbers trying to see what people are getting upto it there houses.

No i dont agree..police are good..but ui think they have to give more...
