Brit's £2k left on Dubai street untouched an hour later so he moved there

A Brit holidaymaker left his wallet and £2,000 worth of belongings on the street in Dubai and claims he returned an hour later to find them untouched - so now he's ditched the UK to live there. Ally Law wanted to prove how crime-free the United Arab Emirates city was to pal Lee Marshall when they visited a fortnight ago so he tried to pull off a risky stunt to show him.

Footage shows the 26-year-old confidently put his £1,400 iPhone 14 Pro, £450 GoPro, and his wallet, containing his ID and credit cards, on a knee-high wall next to a footpath. Lee, 34, questions if he should try it with cheaper belongings but Ally refuses and the pair go for a walk down Kite Beach, Dubai, and return an hour and 22 minutes later.

Nervous Ally is relieved to find all his items 'untouched' and claims it proves the country is the 'best in the world' and that it wouldn't happen anywhere in England. The content creator was so astonished by the 'incredible' experiment he moved to live in Dubai on Tuesday [April 4], citing the country's 'lack of crime' compared to London as a huge factor.
