10:05 PM – Walking through the crowded Marrakech market, I realize my phone and wallet are missing.

10:10 PM – I quickly retrace my steps and ask stall owners, but no luck. Panic starts to rise.

10:15 PM – A kind shopkeeper gestures me inside and points to my things on the counter.

10:16 PM – Relief floods over me as I thank him; trust in strangers saved the night.
