Discussion Show theft in masjid

My Husband’s shoes were stolen from the local Masjid today at Friday prayer. I tried to console him that the person may have accidentally taken his shoes, but my Mom told me it’s commonplace in Pakistan to have shoes stolen during prayer. My Husband ended up walking home barefoot, in the rain and cold.

I’m wondering why the Masjid’s in Pakistan haven’t thought of a solution to the shoe theft problem if it’s commonplace there?

Whenever I have visited Pakistan, they have a security system in place for grocery stores, where you can leave your things. Like Masjids, grocery stores are busy places.

I recall that my campus also has a bag check system. Thousands of students arrive to the bookstores to buy their books for the school year and the university has a policy that each student leave their backpacks with security before entering the bookstores to buy.

It's because the grocery store or other stores earn money by selling stuff but the Chanda given by people is not enough to build this much of containers. My masjid has like thousands of people,it's not possible to build this much
