Seneglese Crime Prevention

Crystal was in downtown Daker this weekend.  She was shopping and looking at a guys booth, when he violently grabbed her arm and started yelling at her in Wolof.  After her initial confusion, she noticed that the guy wasn't yelling at her but at the woman standing behind her.  The woman started yelling back, then everyone within earshot joined in on the argument.  This whole time the shopkeeper was yelling and shaking Crystal's arm.   As it turned out, the woman had slashed Crystals bag and was fishing through for whatever she could get.  Fortunately, she didn't get the camera, wallet, Ipod, or new shirts, or groceries that were in the bag.  Crystal was pretty sad about having one of her favorite bags ruined, but she was happy that the nice guy rudely stopped the would be thief.
