An Arab man travelling across Saudi Arabia parked his car in a small northern town late night to have some rest when another man came forward and asked him for a drink of water. After that man left, the driver’s purse disappeared.

“The Arab man told police he had just parked his car to take a break of driving when an unknown man came to him,” Okaz daily said.

“He said the man asked for a drink of water, which he gave…he said that just after the man left, he found that his purse which contained SR3,000 ($810) had disappeared…police later seized the thirsty man after a search in the area.”
