Sorry to hear this Richie.
Here's a little story that might at least lift your spirits.
A friend of mine spends almost 6 months of every year in Morocco, he is British but also has Moroccan residency. While in Morocco he has a somewhat nomadic lifestyle and lives in his Nissan Patrol camper.
A few months ago he was travelling along a mountain piste and he came across a group of young lads walking with their donkeys, so he slowed right down to pass them. As his Aircon had packed up he had all the windows open, as he passed them the lads leaned into his Patrol and grabbed anything they could get their hands on and ran off up the hill away from the piste.
My mate stopped and got out of his vehicle, he quickly realised he was never going to catch the lads but in their haste to escape they had left their donkeys behind. So, he tied the donkeys to the back of his vehicle and continued along the piste until he eventually came to the next village.
Once in the small village it was soon established which family the donkeys belonged to, he explained what had happened which brought great shame on the family. The waiting game then began, eventually the young lads returned and he was reunited with his stolen items.
As he left he could see in his rear view mirror the punishment being given to the young lads. Apparently theft is seriously frowned upon in Morocco and the shame will remain with the boys and their family for many years.
