A U.S. Embassy Dhaka employee riding in a rickshaw recently was yanked out and dragged along the street when a thief reached from a passing vehicle and snatched her purse.

Serious injury can occur if a bag is wrapped around your arm or shoulder. In Bangladesh, the Embassy advises against carrying such bags on rickshaws.
