oh, I only mentioned the armed robberies. I must fare pretty unpopular, as I've had my wallet picked three times, first time in Surabaya boarding the big Pelni ship, found myself in a mass of hundreds of desperate passengers fighting to board. amidst the Chaos, my wallet with everything in it vanished from my zippered cargo pants........silly me! I learned i would have to do better than that. The next time, in Santiago de Cuba, drunk in a bar with my buddy started to wrestle, some friendly gentlemen came to break us up, only, (unbeknownst to me) to break open my pocket and take my wallet. Sleeping in a hammock on a quiet beach in Mexico Oaxaca, I had my wallet taken from my pants (back pocket) money removed, and wallet left beside me. No idea how I slept through that, no tequila was involved. And The other time, walking alone with my day-pack on across my left shoulder walking on right side of the road, a motorbike ran into me from behind, my pack's strap ripping, sent it flying, but the dude wiped out, and didn't get any.
My lesson learned in all of this is I'm a pretty easy target, however in every scenario, I had let my guard down and underestimated the risk. funny how the bad guys always know the right moments cause 99% of the time, I'm very vigilant.
