Careful at La Ropa

Wow, I didn't know things have gotten so bad. I guess if our group comes down there we need to put together phony wallets (I.D., credit cards, and several hundred peso) to hand out if we are unlucky since we do go between La Medera and La Ropa between 7 am to 7 pm during our stay.

Rob mentioned earlier in this thread that the new bunch of escoria may be from Acapulco where thieving opportunities have lessened due to the hurricane devastation. Regardless of who they are or where they came from, the incidents are a shock because that kind of stuff so rarely happens to tourists on Escenica La Ropa.

I'm a small person and am on Escenica La Ropa nearly every day, either walking or waiting for the bus, usually by myself. I carry money and cc's in a money belt hidden around my waist. No purse, no backpack, no visible signs that I'm worth the trouble of robbing.
