Dubai Police has recently returned lost items to tourists from the UK, KSA and Kuwait, which they had lost during their Dubai visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Brigadier Yousef Al Adidi, director of Al Qusais Police Station, most items were left behind by tourists and handed in by some honest taxi drivers and individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The British Tourist <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brig. Al Adidi recalls a British tourist who forgot his wallet in a taxi as he was heading to Dubai International Airport towards the end of his Dubai visit. \u201cThe wallet contained a passport of one of his relatives, and 13 different credit and ID cards and some personal documents,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brig. Al Adidi pointed out that the taxi driver found the wallet and handed it over to the Al Qusais Police Station. \u201cWe tried reaching the wallet\u2019s owner, but he had already flown home. We then contacted the tourist over the phone and sent him the wallet through a delivery services company,\u201d Al Adidi confirmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After receiving the wallet, the British tourist sent an email to the Dubai Police expressing his sincere gratitude for their extraordinary efforts and their keenness to deliver the wallet to his home despite the distance, especially since the wallet and its contents are precious to him. \u201cPosting the wallet may be a simple matter for some, but it means a lot to me since it contains very important cards, thank you very much,\u201d the man said in his email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Kuwaiti Tourist <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In another incident, Brig. Al Adidi said they reached a Kuwaiti tourist who had lost his backpack during his visit to Dubai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAn honest individual handed the backpack which had a tablet and a smartphone to the police station,\u201d \u201cWe were able to identify the owner and contacted him for further verification before we sent his possessions over to him,\u201d Al Adidi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Kuwaiti man was very pleased to receive his backpack at his doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Saudi Tourist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dubai Police also reached out a tourist from Saudi Arabia who misplaced his phone in a taxi on his way to the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOnce the phone was handed over by the taxi driver, we started looking for information to identify the tourist, so we found a note attached to the phone with a telephone number with a KSA dialling code,\u201d \u201cWe called the number, and luckily it was for the owner who was extremely pleased to know that his phone is safe as it contains important data and personal photos\u201d Brig. Al Adidi said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brig. Al Adidi added that they arranged with the post service to send the phone to its owner in Saudi Arabia who expressed his gratitude to Dubai Police for their diligence in delivering his smartphone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dubai Police has recently returned lost items to tourists from the UK, KSA and Kuwait, which they had lost during their Dubai visit.
