Jeddah Closed Shops - and Trust


Here in the land of Islam, it is not unusual to see small shops closed up with mere fabric draped over the entryway or the products, instead of some kind of lock and key set up. 


Theft is not very common here and that might be because of the threat of stiffer punishments for breaking the law.  Many small shopowners trust that their wares will be left alone and remain undisturbed until they open back up.
