First, let me say that I am not trying to be an alarmist or scare anyone away from having a great holiday in Boca Chica if that is your thing.
Just be very careful and do NOT carry more money on you than you need for that portion of the day.
I personally know of at least one pickpocket working Boca Chica, I got done today by a professional.
I'm normally in Boca Chica almost every week or so on business and always try my best to not allow a street hooker to get too close to me.
I was walking across the little park to get to my car and saw this girl making a bee line for me, as she got close I side stepped to go around her but she was quick and pulled herself right into me and pressed against me, I tried to step back, but again she moved with me so I tried to push her away, at which time she grabbed for my crotch and was rewarded with a very hard shove from me and some not too nice words.
This whole senario couldn't have taken more than 3 to 4 seconds and I continued walking toward my car, after about 4 steps I realised my money was gone from my front pants pocket, I turned quickly to look for her, but it was like she vanished into thin air.
I did report the incident to the police, fat lot of good that did, I'm sure they were just hoping I would get out of there so they could go and get their cut of the loot.
For those of you visiting Boca Chica, be wary of a very petite girl, early to mid 20's, no more than about 5 feet tall, mulatto coloring and with rather large breasts for her body size.
I know, half you guys are going to say that sounds like your dream girl, but believe me in a matter of seconds she will become your nightmare girl.
All I'm trying to say, is be very careful, I've never considered myself an easy mark, but she dispelled that mith in a hurry.
