Robbed in Santa Ana, Son

A lot of people drop their guard when they travel to a different country, they are on vacation and relax the vigilance mode and are easy prey for the opportunist thief, some even make the tourist tell them where they have the wallet, it is simple put a official looking notice " beware of pic-pockets "

I saw this at the Eiffel tower in Paris, everyone coming on to the top most observation tower reading the notice and was reaching for the pocket where they carried the wallet and two guys watching the tourists, I walked over to the two and took out my wallet and asked them if that was what they were looking for, they dashed for the exit, no one paid attention to them tourists were looking at the view while these two were looking at the marks, I carry my wallet left front pocket, never rear pocket easiest place to lift it.

Or the women that place the hand bag on the shopping cart where the kids sit, and the best open so that anyone passing can lift the purse or the bag and vanish.

Try not to be an easy prey for the thief's, and when sitting at a restaurant women do not place or hang your bag on the back of the chair, you will not notice when the bag is lifted, "Police 101"

TNS, White Star and Tres Estrellas de Oro drivers have told me in the past...a verbatim announcement to the passengers...

"I must lock the door when we leave -- no one stays aboard"

"Take all your valuables with you -- do not leave them on your seat"

This has changed?

WHY is BUS COMPANY allowing DRIVER to be part of the problem ie: Leaving door open??

Otherwise.........who leaves their valuables on a dang tour bus seat and leaves the bus!?!?!?!?!

1. Drivers do this often. I guess, - getting free ventilation so that they don't have to run the engine. Though driver usually stays close to the door, in this case. If he doesn't, he is an i.diot, next time somebody will steal some his tools or belongings. Report him to the company if you "habla".

2. Many people leave it. Big bag goes in the closed hold at the bottom, laptop and/or small bag with water bottle, warm jacket for possible cold night etc - in overhead bin.

Best thing to do is spread the news far and wide, along with a warning about the "known" perpetrators.

As in many places, once the locals get wind that these delinquents are hurting their business, it will be handled "internally"

Good for you for warning others to stay away. Make sure the RV Park gets wind of the posts ;)

Tallyho: I would paralleled park the trailer with SUV against the curb on the edge of the lot and then do the same with the MH but beside the SUV.

Easily accessible from either direction. It is part of one of those mega corps that operate many locations. I have to wonder how they get those USA products. Distribution in Mexico can be a nightmare.

Never figured this one out either. No real flavor, just lard and more fat.
Before they came here I would have said there's no such thing as a bad donut.
They're just dusgusting.

Sounds great. Didn't notice it on our way south. On our way north, we'll be in separate vehicles, so really need a secure place to park-he'll have the moho, I'll have the SUV with an empty trailer. Thanks!
