[QUOTE="Malika, post: 462409, member: 11227"] Well, not quite Insane... I have actually [B]never[/B] seen a night guardian in Europe (though they might exist somewhere). This is purely, and very commonly, a [B]Moroccan[/B] phenomenon. In relatively wealthy residential areas, the inhabitants of a little local area all pay a monthly contribution to pay for a man who comes and spends all night in a kind of sentry box in the street outside the houses. The idea being that he would tackle any burglars or car thieves, of course - though in practice these men are ofen so ancient and frail-looking that you rather wonder what might happen in the event of them surprising any intruders...
