Mthere is no doubt that Vietnam is relatively a safe country for tourists, including single travelers. In fact, given the country's recent history, many tourists, especially Americans, are pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome that awaits foreign travelers in this Asian country.
However, the number of minor crimes in Vietnam is on the rise. Although this growth is still not critical, one should not look for problems for oneself, but take reasonable precautions.
Among a number of worldwide crimes in Vietnam, the following stand out: cases of robbery using bikes or simply mopeds. No wonder, because according to various estimates, there are more than 40 million mopeds in the country. In terms of their number per capita, the Vietnamese are definitely not far behind neighboring Asian countries.
Do not think that the victims of moped robbers are exclusively gaping foreign tourists. Local residents are regularly subjected to such attacks. For obvious reasons, robbers choose their victims among women and girls, relying on their fear and natural fragility.
However, not everything and not always goes according to plan for such criminals. And even those robbers who decide to bring their case to the end often later regret what they have done. After all moped robbers in Vietnam oh how they don’t like.
Of course, an ordinary Vietnamese can hardly be called a super hero. However, when it comes to catching a brazen moped robber, some of them awaken the spirit of the great Le Loy.
How does it happen? Watch a short video with the situation that happened on one of the streets of the city of Di An (video 1 minute).
