The kids and I were swimming by An Bang fishing village near Hoi An, when I looked up and realized my bag had been stolen. While there wasn’t much in it — around VND500,000, a beach cover-up, a bottle of water and some crackers- I was upset to think one of the locals had nicked it. We were shuffling home to our rented beach shack when I heard some rustling in the bushes. Just off the trail were two dogs, desperately trying to dig the crackers out of my bag. I retrieved my bag, unwrapped the crackers and threw them to the bag-snatchers.
