Not to worry they are not picking on just tourists
A friends wife works in Publado, non mongering type work, when one morning someone broke in and drugged her. Ripped off some little stuff and mved on. She spent the rest of the day in the hospital, a couple incomapasitated and then back to work.
[QUOTE=Jchipper]Maybe the end of Medellin as a safe and great spot to Monger for those who are on a budget, food, hotels, sexo prices, they are all on the rise and with the low dollar value its even worse. The theft is up here, drugging tourist, powder in the face to render you helpless, I have heard more horror stories this past month than I have heard in my 4 years here. Just be careful, they are getting bolder as the economy shrinks, if you're looking for the next best place try Managua or Lima, David33 is a great source for girls and Lima is off the chain for food and cost, going next month from Medellin if thats not proof of how bad it is here, well suit youreself.[/QUOTE]
