Economy Slump

This from the NY Times

With Dubai’s economy in free fall, newspapers have reported that more than 3,000 cars sit abandoned in the parking lot at the Dubai Airport, left by fleeing, debt-ridden foreigners (who could in fact be imprisoned if they failed to pay their bills). Some are said to have maxed-out credit cards inside and notes of apology taped to the windshield.

It must be some prison sentence if they can just run off and leave their car at the airport. But then again, it probably wasn't any of their money to begin with so maybe they could just run off. Or better yet why not just try driving out of the country.
