The album title for "¿Dónde Están Los Ladrones?", which translates to "Where Are The Thieves?" was conceived by an unpleasant event experienced by Shakira. While waiting in an airport in Bogotá, a thief stole Shakira's bag which held all of the lyrics and partitures of the songs for her new album.
"¿Dónde Están Los Ladrones?" sold 10 million copies worldwide. Shakira received 2 Latin Grammy's from this album,including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. She also received her first Grammy nomination for Best Latin Rock Alternative Album.
