I need advice. I've already called all the banks and feel that my money is protected. But all my identity documents were in there. My passport, license in the states, credit cards....all are gone. Un lio.
I am really scared about my passport being stolen. The embassy is not very helpful. They are telling me that no one will be able to use it because I made a police report and it will be in the system as stolen. However when both police departments took my statement they recorded it in a notebook by hand. Then they made a document from a computer that they printed. Things here are slow so I really am scared that in the meantime something is going on with my passport. Please please, everyone, tell me everything that you think I need to do. And if anyone knows anyone in the embassy that can help me, I would appreciate the help immensely. I would have thought my embassy would be a lot more supportive.......instead they were content to dump me onto a recorded voice.
I have not even told you all the story of how this happened. We truly have professional criminals in this country.
Also, since they have my address and phone number and now know where I live and work etc, am I safe? Did they just want to make off with some cash and whatever and threw the bag in a river or are they going to stake me out and try to get something more? Someone please educate me on stealing here etc.
I have been here for one year. I know this was bound to happen eventually. I should have been prepared. Thanks in advance for all your exp
