A video posted on the Sharjah Police’s social media channels advised vigilance if anyone spits or sneezes on your clothes. It could be that you are about to be pickpocketed, it said.

Furthermore, members of society must avoid being deceived by strangers informing them of a breakdown in their vehicle.

Finally, avoid placing cash or bags on the seat next to the driver, as this makes one vulnerable to theft.
