I was approached by a hustler type who wanted to buy the lady for $1000. When I declined he then offered to buy her for a camel! Once I told him that she was my wife he completely backed down sheepishly, was really apologetic for offending me, and made a quick exit. I've been married for close on 20 years to the 'lady' now and I still remind her occasionally that I could have sold her for a cool grand! (There's days I tell ya........)
Fun to look back on now. But yeah, be careful in some of these places.

It sounds to me like you were in Morocco a long while back. I was there for a month this past summer and found it to be extremely safe. There were no hustlers unless you consider people selling rugs, spices etc. to be hustlers. Sorry, just had to defend Moroccos honour, it is a great place to go.
