«اِللِّي مَا يُرْبُطْ بِهِيمُهْ يِنْسِرِقْ»

The saying warns that neglect makes loss more likely. Someone who leaves property unguarded or fails to take ordinary precautions may find it gone; this practical warning does not excuse theft or shift blame from the thief.

It can apply beyond livestock to money, possessions, work, or any responsibility requiring care. Its force is preventive: protect what is yours before carelessness creates an opportunity for harm.

Use it to urge someone to secure valuables or attend to a duty before trouble occurs. It may comment on a loss linked to obvious lack of care, but can sound reproachful toward the person who suffered it.
