It should also help to deter others.Kate Phizackerleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788412260256519986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-50987767194758877992011-03-19T20:15:12.707+02:002011-03-19T20:15:12.707+02:00I don't have those kind of details, I guess th...I don't have those kind of details, I guess they would be internal to the Egyptian authorities.

To help outsiders better understand what help they might offer, could you possibly find out, first, who hired the 4 guards? second, were the guards themselves armed, and if so, who provided the weaponry and what weapons were they given? third, did the guards have any means of communicating to call for help from the military? fourth, would there be any way that foreigners who wished to could help pay for more guards (or neighborhood watch groups), more and better weapons, or any other security improvements?Larry Rothfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525764497697221380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-83582764728345644512011-03-19T17:34:41.304+02:002011-03-19T17:34:41.304+02:00Hi Jane,

A very sad story, which we all hope has a happy ending.<br /><br />It seems that no site/ storeroom is that safe considering the steps the thiefs are prepared to take. <br /><br />Organized and motivated, the thieves continue. Some of these may well be Egyptian born, so adds to the sadness of this theft.<br /><br />Regards,<br />StuartStuart Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852168221500295895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-4387415324334356142011-03-19T16:59:19.179+02:002011-03-19T16:59:19.179+02:00Mostafa deserves credit for being open and transpa...Mostafa deserves credit for being open and transparent.
