      Sorry buddy but we Ethiopian men and women are mostly a very dishonest people of big thieves and big crooks or scammers. So like any foreigner in Ethiopia, take good care of yourself and especially your properties in Ethiopia.

    Damn bro, I am sorry to hear this happened to you. Pickpocketing is one of the most common crime in Addis Ababa and other countries as well. I was in Ethiopia back in September and I have heard so many stories about it and it’s amazing how they can get to your phone or wallet. Here are my two cents on how to navigate through Addis. DO NOT GIVE OR RECEIVE A HUG OR GET TOO CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW. I know you are trying to be nice and friendly but it’s not the same for everyone. You are giving them an opportunity to use the situation for their own advantage and you will never see it coming. Also, even-though most of the people are very genuine and helpful, try to get all your information/directions from hotel concierges, don’t ask information from everyone you meet on street, everybody’s intentions are not always for the right reason. Be safe and I am sure you will have a better experience in my homeland.

    Sorry to hear about your iPhone Myer! Similar thing happened to me in Addis in Markato. Someone spit peanuts on my shirt and while wiping it off and being very apologetic they snatched my iPhone. It happened to me twice and I also had cash stolen twice. It’s not the safe city it once was you always have to be on guard. One of the reasons I haven’t been back for awhile is a few bad experiences the last two trips😢

    Hey Myer I feel sorry about what happened to your iPhone 12 while you were making that awesome vlog. I can imagine how frustrating and disappointing it must be to lose such an important tool for your creativity. Remember, setbacks are temporary, but your talent and determination are everlasting. Don't let this discourage you from continuing to create amazing content. Keep your spirits up, and I'm sure you'll bounce back stronger than ever. Sending you lots of positive vibes and support during this time. You've got this!

    Don't have any open pockets put it somewhere inside your chest or in a zipper.
    I always carry a chest bag. Invest in one, it is a small bag wrapped on your front chest. They cannot get it no matter what this way.
    Also don't carry your phone or money openly on the street. If you want to take it out go inside a building, mall, cafe etc.
    Don't openly greet every stranger. Its not safe they will know you are foreign and maybe look for you to rob.
    I didn't even talk to too many people in my trip but if you are foreign, even from a different city, they will openly tell each other.
    Culturally people talk a lot.
    If you talk to one person then they will go tell another 10 people a new person is in the area, then those 10 will tell another 20, and so on and so on.
    Even one dukana store employee, a child, when I was buying something he openly yelled on the street to people "SHE IS FOREIGN!!!" 😐
    At one point I became afraid someone will target me in my home because I lived alone as a woman.
    So I moved neighborhoods quickly.
    Try to be discreet instead. You will stand out even more as a non-Ethiopian.
    And if anyone tries to stand or walk close to you move away or come to a complete stop and let them pass you. This is what I did often.
    I caught a child trying to pickpocket my purse when I did this. I looked at his face and we both laughed like Aha! I caught you😅

Most of the people waiting to get in to the public transport are thieves! They know each other & as everyone rushes to get in to the bus these thieves get busy doing their busness searching your pockets. Even the residents scare at night. their government failed to create some jobs for them.

    Hey Myer sorry to hear that...that is a pretty old technique as it seems once long time ago around Merkato area, busy market district of Addis, someone spited on the trouser of my friend and immediately pulled out a napkin as if he regretted it and wanted to clean his mess. But my friend is very aware of all kinds of such stealing techniques and all he did was to ask the guy not to touch him at all and pass the napkin to clean his trouser by himself. That way we get out of that situation. Next time such a situation happens don`t allow people to touch or come closer to you.

    You know that scale thing. I dont know how much you paid but one time me and my friend were drunk and just walking around and he accidentally stepped one foot on the scale and the guy tried make us pay 50 cents but my buddy was so stingy he argued with him for 5 minutes and finally settled on paying 25 cents. Swear to god true story.😂😂😂

    You are always full of energy and say nice things about Ethiopians and the place you go,but this time you almost sound like the opposite.I understand you were upset because they took your phone.well my friend it happens in Paris too, such things happen every where in the world .Take it easy , at list you didn’t get mugged and left unconscious on a side of a street. You can erase everything on the old phone from your computer and even lock the old phone forever so. No one can use it .stay safe

    By the way the reason that guy at the phone shop didn't want to be recorded is because usually after a phone is robbed, it goes straight to shops like that. Sometimes they are traced by Find My Iphone and people come looking to ask questions. When you were recording him and you mentioned you wanted to buy a phone because your phone was stolen, he probably thought you suspected him and were recording to gather evidence for the police. He probably has loads of other stolen phones in there.

    For the next time just don't say to everyone "hello", you bring unwanted attention to u. This will make you more vulnerable to be robbed. Bcz some people will notice that u are new around and will approach u.
