Shop owners at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi have been returning to their stores after last week's terrorist attack to find displays ransacked and valuables stolen.
They say jewellery and mobile phones have been taken, cash tills plundered and restaurants emptied of alcohol.
Shopkeepers believe troops sent in to protect the complex are to blame, although they admit they have no proof.
One witness told the Associated Press he saw a Kenyan soldier take cigarettes out of a dead man's pocket.
Owners spent Monday removing merchandise and other valuables from their stores and restaurants to prevent any more thefts.
Soon after the attack began on September 21, officials put a cordon around the mall, allowing only security forces and a few government personnel to pass through.
One business owner said money and mobile phones were taken from bags and purses left behind in the mayhem.
Employees of a book shop on the second floor returned to find cash registers yanked open and cash gone.
The store's laptops were also stolen, although none of the books were touched, said owner Paku Tsavani.
U say? Who tiff wat?
