Cali Reports

That's totally different.

How exactly is an app or software supposed to stop cell phone theft? And also you say it's on "Colombian cell phones" hate to break the news to you bud, but Colombia does not manufacture cell phones. Most cell phones sold here come from China.

Assuming you meant cell phones that are sold and / or purchased in Colombia that would make more sense, I still fail to see how having a certain software installed on the phone will stop someone from stealing it.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 S that I purchased last August in Bogota for $200 usd. Does that mean I own a Colombian cell phone or do I own a Chinese cell phone?

I just updated to Xiaomi Hyper OS built on top of Android 14 and unless if it's hidden somewhere, I don't see anything about some magical antitheft software that will stop a ladron from trying to snatch my phone and run with it while I am in plaza Botero LOL.

Unless if you quote your sources your information is just hearsay.

I don't post hearsay. https://www.elpais.com.co/colombia/a...reto-1555.html.

Did my post sound plausible? How difficult was to search for a proof? Another important reminder, in my view. Any authority including Colombian can do whatever they want even if it defies logic, law, common sense, practicality, custom, your expectation, economic or business plan, decency et cetera. Your or mine indignation, non acceptance, bewilderment, lamentation or questions why are worthless. The world is in a state of chaos slightly veiled by rules. There is only one country directly governed by the Almighty and it's not Colombia.

Spaniards were of the same opinion about looming French invasion.

I am in Cali end of next week and happy to show a newbie around. I have been to Cali a couple of times and familiar a few casas and a regular night time spots.

This time I am planning to hit south of the city. I have not explored that area much. I usually stay in Centenario and Grenada areas and taxi everywhere.

There will be a mandatory software on all Colombian phones moving forward to lower the robberies.

That would be nice. Phones are a big deal here. I had to go to Claro a couple of times to register my Cel from the USA. They also had to register my virtual SIM for my Cel. Besides being a target for thieves, a Cel here is a status symbol. If you have a BS or burner phone, just the thieves are attracted. It's somewhat understandable given the abject poverty.

I'm not going to say Cali is dangerous, but I will tell you something. I was at Salsodromo with a group last week. We were 90% locals with a few foreigners. A guy from the UK had that foam sprayed in his face and then they took his cellular phone. It wasn't an expensive one, as he lives in Cali and has a $100 phone. About an hour later a fight broke out in the crowd as a woman was trying to steal another Colombian women's bag. This was at La Feria with a lot of people around so perhaps there was more crime, but I always try to watch my back in the city regardless. In general, I like the city for what it is.

I know. 'Although the identities of the rescued Canadians have not been publicly disclosed for security reasons,' should ring a bell, eh? Anyway, most of the city is a no go area, and every area in every direction beyond the city also should be avoided. The flood of fake videos though is a fact.

Just got to Cali, not finding a lot, any massage parlours?

Here is a news story that corroborates the video https://bnnbreaking.com/world/canada...cali-colombia/.

First of all, stop watching those videos as many of them are fake posted by fake posters to earn income on youtube. Read Colombian newspapers.

Has crime increased recently or as another guy from MDE thread indicated, criminals are getting better in tactics. I understand this is a premediated stuff but then again, the chilly video of the foreigners getting kidnapped is disturbing for the impunity displayed by the kidnappers.

Then, Meddy is much much safer than Cali by all means. Cali had more than a thousand murders in 2023. Do not travel to Cali unless you have experience and have certain mode of operation it makes it worthwhile, that is you can't it in other places in the country for the same money, or there is a specific reason.
