Dubai woman leaves her Rs 25 Lakh Birkin handbag and take a boat ride—Experiment Goes Viral

The CSR Journal Magazine

While on a trip, losing or forgetting personal belongings like phone, wallet or bag can be nothing less than a nightmare, and even though we recall the place and return to get it back, very less chances of getting it, but this isn’t the case in Dubai. To prove how safe Dubai as a destination is, a woman deliberately left her luxury handbag, and when she returned, what she saw was shocking.

Did the woman find her handbag in Dubai?

A woman shared a video this morning on Instagram about her social experiment, where she deliberately left her luxury handbag of Hermes Birkin worth Rs 25 lakhs in public for some time, just to see if she finds it in the same spot. She deliberately left her handbag on a bench in the Gold Souk area and took a water taxi to Bur Dubai. In the video, the woman shares, she was feeling nervous whether she would get her bag on the same spot after her return. The ride seemed even more long, as the water taxi was empty and she had to wait for it to have passengers.

When the anxious boat ride was complete, it was time she faced reality, she called it the ‘the moment of truth’.  But she was shocked to see that the place where she left her handbag at the Gold Souk area, she saw it at the same spot, not an inch moved, “I see it. Oh my god! Only in Dubai,” she shouted in amazement.

How did the internet react to the handbag stunt?

One user wrote, “Yes, only in the UAE.” “Do not try in India,” wrote another. One of the users shared her experience, she wrote, “Only in Dubai. Totally agree. Been there, done that. Forgot my handbag in the parking lot and drove off. Returned much later only to find it right there, as it is.” Another Insta user wrote about Norway, “In Norway, too! If it is not there, then the people probably gave it to the police station,”.
