No place for pickpockets

KAINANTU is probably the largest district town in any province that has all the government services one will need.
It serves the four Eastern Highlands districts of Kainantu, Henganofi, Okapa and Oburara Wonenara, and the two provinces of Ramu (Madang and Markham) and Morobe. This town is the hotspot for gold, coffee and fresh vegetables.
Despite the cash flow in town, there is one thing I am proud of.
You will hardly see a pickpocket in town. Never. The reason is simple. The whole town will beat you up.
I have seen so many pickpocket badly beaten up by a crowd in town.
Kainantu is a small town and many villagers go there to shop and sell their produce.
If anyone wants to be a pickpocket, go to big towns and cities like Goroka, Lae, Madang, Mt Hagen or Port Moresby. That’s why when I am in Kainantu I feel very safe with my wallet.
I wish other big towns and cities can do the same.
One of the reasons pickpockets thrive in PNG is because no one has the guts to stand up stop them.
If you are a pickpocket tycoon, don’t come to Kainantu.
